Teachers strike at Scots school over 'violent and abusive behaviour of pupils'
29.11.2022 - 16:37 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Teachers at a Glasgow school taking further strike action for the rest of the week over the alleged violent and abusive behaviour of students. Staff at Bannerman High in Baillieston are staging a walk out on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week, with an additional eight days of strikes to take place in December.
The NASUWT teachers' union claim educators have been 'shoved and threatened' and someone 'brandished' a screwdriver on the premises. However, a source told the Record that the problem only relates to a small number of pupils.
The union has been in negotiations with Glasgow City Council to tackle the issue and said it has made "some progress" in coming up with suitable safeguards. However, the organisation claims council bosses are still 'punishing' staff by threatening to send them home without pay if they refuse to continue teaching in a classroom where they face 'verbal and physical abuse' from pupils.
Dr Patrick Roach, NASUWT general secretary, said: "We remain committed to further negotiations with Glasgow City Council to seek to resolve this dispute. A resolution is being made more difficult to reach by continued threats from the council to dock the pay of our members who are taking action to ensure their safety at work.
"Rather than seeking to punish teachers for standing up for their basic right to a safe workplace, Glasgow City Council should be removing obstacles to resolution of this dispute and demonstrate that they are serious about fulfilling their duty of care to staff."
However, a spokesperson for Glasgow City Council previously said the union's claims were an "inaccurate" and denied that actions taken by the council and senior management at the school could be perceived as 'bullying'.
