Council leaders are on ‘standby’ as discussions around teacher pay disputes continues
Teachers from the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) union hold a protest outside the offices of Clackmannanshire Council in Alloa, as they strike over pay during an EIS 16-day rolling programme of regional action

COUNCIL leaders reported being on “standby” today as discussions continued about teacher pay amid strikes across Scotland.

Ahead of another meeting between the Scottish government and council umbrella body Cosla today, SNP Deputy First Minister John Swinney refused to confirm whether a new offer is imminent.

Teaching unions first launched walkouts in late November last year after rejecting a below-inflation deal worth between 5 and 6.85 per cent for most educators.
