Teachers at a Glasgow school taking further strike action for the rest of the week over the alleged violent and abusive behaviour of students
. Staff at Bannerman High in Baillieston are staging a walk out on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week, with an additional eight days of strikes to take place in December.
Dr Patrick Roach, NASUWT general secretary, said: "We remain committed to further negotiations with Glasgow City Council to seek to resolve this dispute. A resolution is being made more difficult to reach by continued threats from the council to dock the pay of our members who are taking action to ensure their safety at work.
A statement from the council read: "It is deeply upsetting that the school is once again being dragged through the media. The safety of our staff is taken very seriously and additional measures have been in place at the school to meet the needs of the teachers and support staff in the ASL base and the refusal to teach by some members can only be seen as victimisation of young people with significant needs.
