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!

Good question - I think it's beside the Tax office behind the railway station. Drive past the railway station as if you were heading to Debenhams. Turn left at the signs for the car park, just past the modern art statue (on your left) you'll then be at the back of the DCA......................clear as mud, yeah? :confused:
