Glasgow rallies to fight education cuts
Trade unions, including Unison, GMB, Unite and the EIS, protest against cuts in council jobs and services outside the City Chambers in George Square, Glasgow, February 14, 2024

TRADE unionists, parents and opposition politicians stood shoulder to shoulder today against swingeing Glasgow education cuts.

The cuts come after Scotland’s largest local authority passed an SNP-Green budget plan last month to slash more than £100 million from services over the next three years.

Almost £30m of that figure is planned to be met through what were termed on budget day “service reforms” in the city’s education budget.
