Nursery Nurses Dispute

The Herald: Nursery nurses go back to work

THE long-running nursery nurses' strike in Glasgow ended in bitterness last night when they voted to return to work under threat of dismissal.
An ultimatum by Glasgow City Council earlier in the day brought the strike to an end after 14 weeks...
Irene Lang, from Govan Early Learning Centre, said: "I did not vote to accept the deal. For a Labour-led council to threaten their workers with the sack is deplorable."
She added: "It is a completely different workforce they will see coming back. If they think this is the end of it they are mistaken. We will be out in force with the fire-fighters, and others who have been betrayed, at every election, hitting Labour. There will be a backlash.
"There isn't usually a big-turn out at EU elections but next Thursday will be an opportunity for people who have been treated badly to make their feelings known.
"I will be supporting the SSP – they have been fantastic in their support on the picket lines."
