Hutchesons’ Grammar in the southside of Glasgow is facing strike action after it demanded teachers sign new contracts which change their pension entitlements
An SNP MP has slammed the top private school attended by Humza Yousaf for using "callous fire and rehire tactics" against its own staff.
He branded Hutchesons' "appalling" over the way it had treated staff and called on the school to "think again". Newlands told the Record: "The attempt by Hutchesons’ Grammar School to deploy discredited and callous fire and rehire tactics against staff at the school is simply appalling. "More broadly we’ve seen organisations like British Airways, British Gas and P&O Ferries use these tactics in the past and been roundly condemned for their actions. The management at Hutchesons’ should think carefully about the huge damage on their own reputation they are about to unleash.
Scottish politics A spokeswoman for Hutchesons’ Grammar School said: “Previous increases to the Scottish Teachers’ Pension Scheme employer costs have impacted on our expenditure and with further increases expected next year, the Governors believe this future increase would make it less sustainable as they wish to keep Hutchesons’ affordable to as many families as possible.
