Daily Record special: letters from nursery nursesI WAS one of those who attended the Scottish Parliament demonstration in support of the SSP's motion for a national pay claim.
My colleagues and I travelled the length and breadth of the country to seek assurances and leadership from our political leaders.
An invitation was given to all MSPs to meet informally with us after the motion. Unfortunately, not one Labour MSP attended the gathering.
Why treat Scotland's professionals with such contempt?
I believe Jack McConnell is making a fundamental error in stating that it is a matter for UNISON and our employer, COSLA, to sort it out.
This is an employer that recently branded nursery nurses scandalous and unforgivable.
If McConnell wants to preserve a quality pre-school education, where children are cherished, nurtured and educated, why does he continue to neglect and pour scorn on the workers who implement it?
