School staff to strike in 24 Scottish council areas

Scotland's biggest council union, Unison, is planning strikes that could result in school closures across the country next month. Members have rejected a 5.5% pay increase and will strike in 24 of the 32 council areas.
The strikes will involve school staff such as catering, cleaning, pupil support, administration, and janitorial workers. Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Dundee are among the areas that will be affected.
Unison has received a strong strike mandate from local government workers and accuses Cosla, the employers' organization, of delaying tactics.
