Scotland schools strike: Hundreds of support staff attend rally outside Scottish Parliament

Hundreds of school support staff in Scotland rallied outside the Parliament demanding fair pay, with Unison Scottish secretary Lilian Macer calling the pay offer from employers "too little, too late and too vague."
The strike, which has resulted in the closure of hundreds of schools, is part of a three-day strike by support staff in 24 of Scotland's 32 councils. The workers are fighting for fair pay not just for themselves, but for all local government workers across the country.
The demonstration was meant to send a strong message to the Scottish government that enough is enough, with STUC general secretary Roz Foyer emphasizing the need for change.
