Commenting after the EIS Salaries Committee rejected the revised pay offer from the Scottish Government and COSLA, COSLA's Resources Spokesperson, Councillor Katie Hagmann, said:

“This is very disappointing.  The decision by the unions to turn down the offer of good faith, without even asking their members, means that teachers will not see a penny of this pay increase in 22/23. Once eventually agreed, any additional pay will be subject to higher tax in 23/24, meaning less money in the pockets of teachers. This was not what Council Leaders wanted nor is it in the best interest of our teaching workforce.”
