Responding to reports that school and early years staff, including janitors, cleaners, caterers, classroom assistants and administration workers, could walk out as soon as early September in a dispute over pay, Scottish Liberal Democrat education spokesperson Willie Rennie MSP said:

“There is a simple explanation for why these strikes are being called- years of SNP/Green cuts to local authority budgets.

“With the cost-of-living crisis now biting, staff are at their wit’s end.  

“Any single day of a child’s education lost is nothing short of a travesty. This should be a serious kick up the behind for the Scottish Government; they need to step up to the plate and sort it out.”
