This article from The Scotsman, Scotland teacher strikes: Teachers will win dispute with Scottish Government, union official claims, sounded so American. So Indiana, with our low-paid, overworked teachers.
Speaking at a fringe event at the Scottish Labour conference in Edinburgh, EIS president Andrene Bamford said the resolve of the teaching workforce to push for a 10 per cent pay rise remains.

The president added: “I am fully convinced that we will win this – and we will win this.
“We have to win this, because although it’s about pay, it’s about more than pay, it really is about education in its entirety.
“This fight is about raising the status of education, raising the status of education as an education system and raising the status of education as a profession.”
Ms Bamford said there had been “little cuts” in previous years, including to teacher support staff and additional support needs teachers, adding: “Children are just not getting the education they deserve.
“After years of little cuts we now find ourselves in a mess.”
Thankfully, no false CRT claims over there.
