Members of the EIS Union in Edinburgh hold a rally at The Mound this morning
Edinburgh teachers are out on strike today as part of a rolling 16 days of strike across Scottish councils.
Teachers have rejected this, with the EIS demanding a 10 per cent rise. However, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has insisted there is a “gap” between what teachers are demanding and “what is affordable”.
Ms Bradley, however, said that there “continues to be miscalculation in Scotland of the strength of our members’ resolve” as well as a “misjudgement about the moral and financial unacceptability of another real-terms pay cut for education staff”.
Further dates for strike have been announced for Tuesday 28th February and Wednesday 1st March if a deal has not been reached.
