Teachers face strike ballot move

Classroom

Members of Scotland's largest trade union education seems that will be voted on the strike over pension changes.

A key committee of the school in Scotland has recommended the measure, which is expected to be endorsed by the governing body of the Union.

If the vote goes ahead, the strike could take place in the fall.

EIS general secretary Ronnie Smith said a pension which cost more but paid out less could be «the straw that breaks the camel’s back» for teachers.

The call for a strike ballot has come from the union’s strategy sub-committee.

Mr Smith said teachers were prepared to take «firm action» to fight pension changes.

«At a time of imposed pay freezes on public sector pay, coupled with soaring prices for food, fuel, clothing and transport, teachers are not prepared to accept further erosion in their living standards,» he said.

«For hard-pressed teachers, the prospect of paying more of their salary into a pension scheme with the promise of working longer and getting far less at the end, just might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

«The EIS sincerely hopes that the government is listening and changes course on pensions, but we stand ready if they fail to do so.»

He said the committee’s recommendation was «a warning that the government cannot afford to ignore – teachers will strike on this issue if forced to do so».
