SSTA RECOMMENDS PAY DEAL

The Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association today recommended that the members vote “YES” in the forthcoming ballot on the pay and conditions package for Scottish teachers.

“Following a special conference today where Association representatives from all parts of Scotland met together to analyse the proposals, the recommendation to members is that they vote “YES” in the ballot”, said David Eaglesham, General Secretary.

“The package presents teachers with some considerable challenges in coming months and years and the new culture which it brings will require considerable adjustment.  However, taken as a whole, the package does represent a significant step forward for Scottish teachers.  This Association will continue to campaign vigorously to ensure that the package is made to work in the best interests of members and the young people whom they serve.”

The Association ballot will open on Monday 29 January and close on Monday 12 February when the result will be declared.

“All SSTA members are to be urged to use their vote in this ballot to show the clear view of secondary teachers.”
