Members of the Education Institute of Scotland (EIS) and The NASUWT unions at Hutchesons’ Grammar School are planning strikes over a combined five days at the end of May and into June.
Teachers at a Glasgow independent school plan to strike at the end of the month in protest of an alleged “fire and rehire” scheme which they say is forcing teachers to accept inferior pensions.
The NASUWT alleged that members received notice of their termination at the end of March and offers to return on the condition they accept the new pensions. The new pension scheme offers an employer contribution rate of 23.8 per cent, she said. According to the Scottish Public Pension Agency, the STPS contribution rate is 23 per cent for the 2022/2023 year.
They added that strike action could undermine one of the school’s main objectives in withdrawing from the STPS. The EIS warned members that because the pension plan proposed by Hutchesons’ is based on private investment – and not a statutory plan underwritten by the UK Government – there is more risk involved.
