Anybody supply teaching, or thinking about supply teaching, in Scotland should join this group. Join discussions on supply pay, working conditions and how to find supply roles.
"Labour’s figures, secured under Freedom of Information legislation, ........ show savings so far to be relatively modest. Twenty of the 32 authorities detailed projected savings in the current year, and these totalled less than £3.24m."

Cosla drew up changes to supply teacher's terms and conditions to save about £60 million. So the savings for 20 out of 32 councils should be close to £30 millions not £3.24m.???
What is the justification for Mr Russell, COSLA and EIS to defend the sell out deal now?
Another excellent post SST!
I wish more people with some say could follow this detail....have you copied it to anyone/where else?
keep on posting please....
PS This sort of posting keeps supply spirits up.........today in my LA one HT pulled my 6 days planned (as I won't work at lower rate) saying 6 days would be paid as short term because with different classes.....if this is the case I have no work coming at all this term

sos1 ... your HT is out of order I'd say. Tell your union - this is the sort of thing that will eventually win the legal battle!
Does a permanent teacher suffer the halving their wages if they cover a few different classes? It's clear discrimination against part-time employees!

This HT is definitely wrong and you should get your union involve (if it is not EIS). If you have been asked to work for 6 days you should be paid your proper rates, no matter if for different classes or depts as long as it is the same school. Your union should be talking to not only the school but also the LA to make sure they don’t make the same mistake with other short term staff.
