Thousands of striking nursery nurses have marched through Edinburgh to the headquarters of COSLA. They called on COSLA to immediately meet their demands for a fair national pay agreement. Singing and chanting they surrounded the COSLA hq to hear speakers from Unison and also Colin Fox MSP who called for the Scottish Parliament to intervene. The demonstration showed the continuing determination and unity of the nursery nurses who had travelled from all over Scotland to attend the demo. The strikers used the skills learned at work to adapt some nursery rhymes adding their own words, one of which related to COSLA chief Pat Watters..."Tommy says sack him, and we're gonna back him!"
