Non-teaching staff, including bus drivers, classroom assistants, and cleaning and canteen staff, went on strike in May
An agreement has been secured to resolve a long-running dispute over pay and grading for school support workers, Education Minister Paul Givan has said. The minister said school support staff would now receive a “significant investment in pay”.
Mr Givan said trade unions had now accepted a pay and grading agreement. He said: “I am pleased to be able to confirm that all the education support staff unions have accepted the proposed agreement to resolve this long running pay and grading dispute.” “They deserve to be paid appropriately for the extremely important work they do, and the restructured pay scales will also improve the recruitment and retention of staff in the future. I welcome that all forms of industrial action have now ceased.”
