Glasgow teachers to strike against job cuts on budget day
Teachers from the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) union take part in a rally outside the constituency office of Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville in Dunfermline, Fife, during their strike action in dispute over pay, February 22, 2023

TEACHERS across Glasgow will strike later this month as they continue their fight against hundreds of job cuts.

Education union EIS has been in dispute with Glasgow City Council (GCC) since its SNP minority administration banded together with the Greens last year to pass a budget which would slash 450 teaching posts over three years.

EIS say about 300 of those posts have gone, and after a strike ballot won 95 per cent support from a furious workforce last week, the union has announced they will walk out on February 20 — GCC budget day.
