Scotland's largest teaching union condemns ‘wholly unacceptable’ pay offer

SCOTLAND’S largest teaching union has condemned a pay offer that would result in a significant real-terms pay cut for Scotland’s teachers as “wholly unacceptable.”

The EIS salaries committee raised the growing anger in schools over the sub-inflationary pay offer from Cosla and the Scottish government.
