The Educational Institute of Scotland has been embroiled in a wage dispute with the Scottish government and COSLA over the past year.

The Educational Institute of Scotland union has been embroiled in a wage dispute with the Scottish government and Convention of Scottish Local Authorities over the past year. Under the plans announced by Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville on Tuesday evening, teachers earning up to £80,000 would see their pay go up by 6% from April 2022, and then another 5.5% from the start of the 2023 financial year.
The Scottish government has continually argued the money is not there to match the union's 10% demand.Former Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard joined teachers on the picket line outside Falkirk High School
