If anyone is around in Dundee on the 7th June. .........
....Scottish Nursery nurses are having a 'fun day' in support of the recent strike action - which for anyone who hasnt read the news recently is because they havent had a pay rise in 15 years whilst having more responsibilities then ever before. In some cases councils have been putting it off for 3 years and the Union put their own proposal forward 18 months ago, so don't believe the hype of 'they should have tried negotiating' :).
I imagine that the recent proposal from councils that nursery nurses become part time sessional workers and get paid even less for what they do influenced the 90% vote for strike action too, but maybe i'm just cynical :).
Bet this doesnt get as much coverage in the papers!
