Scottish Labour accuses SNP government of failing to intervene in college strikes
Graeme Dey MSP arrives for an SNP group meeting at the Scottish Parliament in Holyrood, Edinburgh, June 13, 2023
“At local level, it’s different."
THE Scottish government was accused today of failing to intervene in a college sector pay dispute.
Scottish Labour education spokeswoman Pam Duncan-Glancy wrote to Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth to demand she puts “an end to the sector’s crisis” and instructs further education minister Graeme Dey to “step up.”
The long-running pay dispute dates back to 2022 and has involved strike days, including in May and June.
