FIRST MINISTER Humza Yousaf has been urged to intervene against his former private school’s “bully tactics,” amid accusations over its use of fire and rehire.

NASUWT general secretary Dr Patrick Roach used his speech at the union’s annual conference in Glasgow on Sunday to urge Scotland’s new leader to take action against his alma mater, Hutchesons’ Grammar School in Glasgow.

The union is balloting members at the school, who had previously come out 87 per cent in favour of industrial action, amid claims management are forcing teachers to agree to new contracts downgrading their pensions – or face dismissal.
