TRADE unionists have been left “horrified” at proposals to cut costs in North Lanarkshire early years education.
North Lanarkshire Trades Union Council (NLTUC) has warned of “terrible repercussions for years to come” as North Lanarkshire Council (NLC) seeks to remove 400 senior posts in early years services as a “budget-balancing” measure.
The NLTUC expressed sympathy on the scale of SNP-Green Scottish government cuts to councils, but called on MSPs, MPs, and councillors to act against proposals it branded “heinous.”
