'We have had to go on strike to protect our schools, to protect the profession and to protect teachers from going hungry.'
Teachers have said they had "no choice" but to go on strike to help colleagues facing a cost of living crisis that has left many struggling to feed their families.
Support was also received from Glasgow Caledonian University, RMT, Unison and GMB convener Chris Mitchell who all spoke at the event. “It bolsters me to see all these other trade unions out and successful. We are really united and that gives us strength. The group also spoke about the support and solidarity from other trade unions giving them the confidence to keep fighting for their ten percent pay rise.
“The success of other trade unions doesn’t detract from us seeking our success. It only bolsters our confidence. We are in solidarity with all our other trade union colleagues, their fight is our fight. William Inch, who is also a teacher, believes teachers will win because they are determined and will not give in.
