TEACHERS in West Dunbartonshire struck for 24 hours over cuts on Thursday of last week, shutting all five secondary schools in the council area.The teachers rejected the council’s latest offer by nine to one.

The EIS union members staged their second walkout this year in a dispute withith education chiefs. Planned cuts of over £600,000 will see faculties introduced in schools and the loss of four deputy head teacher posts.

Glasgow City Unison branch voted to donate £250 in solidarity with the teachers last week. The EIS warned another strike could take place within the next fortnight.
