A planned teacher strike for those working under Glasgow City Council has been suspended following discussions between unions and the local authority.
Members of the Educational Institute for Scotland had intended to strike on 20 February in protest of education cuts, a decision that’s now been halted and reversed.
The union received an offer from the council’s SNP group to withdraw future planned cuts and promised that additional Scottish Government funding will be used to increase the number of teachers working in schools to 2023 levels.
The union said they suspended industrial action in good faith before they meet the council for discussions next week.
The council said they will find £17 million over two years to fund this move, to represent their commitment to the teaching force and improve the quality of education in Glasgow.
The union did say that while the offer is not yet binding and still has to pass through a process it marks a victory in their campaign.
