Some schools and nurseries in Scotland have confirmed closures from next month while staff in two unions take industrial action over a pay dispute.
From September 6 to 8, cleaners, janitors, catering staff, teaching assistants and early years practitioners are participating in the three-day strike as the pay dispute between unions Unison and GMB and Cosla, an organisation representing Scottish local councils, has yet to be resolved.
The action by school and early years staff will coincide with the second round of bin strikes starting September 6. Thousands of refuse workers across 25 councils are set to walk out over eight days.
