Teachers in Scotland have voted to take strike action in a dispute over pay.
Teaching union the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) announced the results of its statutory ballot on the issue, with 96% voting in favour of strike action on a turnout of 71%.
The union balloted members after they rejected a “wholly inadequate” 5% pay offer, stating that its members are neither willing nor able to accept a “deep real-terms cut to their pay” amid the cost-of-living crisis.
