Glasgow City Council,Schools,Closure

Glasgow City Council has announced the closure of nurseries, primary schools, and ASL schools after staff rejected a pay offer. Secondary schools will only remain open for certain pupils.

The move comes after catering, cleaning, pupil support, administration and janitorial employees represented by the union voted overwhelmingly to reject Cosla’s latest pay offer . Glasgow City Council confirmed last week that all its nurseries, primary schools and ASL schools will be closed to children and young people.

"Workers are taking action because they want children to be educated in well-resourced, well-staffed schools and they want to start trying to reverse the years of under-investment in both the workforce and services. Mark Ferguson, chair of UNISON Scotland’s local government committee, said:"Our members voted overwhelmingly to reject Cosla’s pay offer and are determined to fight for the improved pay offer they deserve.
