Learning assistants do vital work every single day supporting pupils, families and schools. They deserve fair pay, fair grading and respect for the work they do. UNISON stands with our striking workers today.
UNISON West Dunbartonshire branch chair Aly McCulloch said: “Learning assistants take on responsibilities far beyond their job descriptions. Staff don’t want to be on strike, but they do need to be paid fairly for the skilled work they do.”
