Secondary school teachers in West Dunbartonshire are set to resume strike action on Wednesday as part of a dispute over cuts.

The EIS union is organising the industrial action, which will continue into Thursday, over cuts to principal teacher posts.

A rally is due to take place at Clydebank Town Hall from 10.30am on Wednesday.

EIS General Secretary Larry Flanagan said: "EIS members in West Dunbartonshire are determined to stand firm against the authority's plans to cut Principal teacher posts in Secondary schools.

"These changes would have detrimental impact on the operation of Secondary school departments, and a negative effect on learning and teaching activity in Secondary schools."

He added: "The EIS will have picket lines in place at all West Dunbartonshire Secondary schools and will be holding a campaign rally today at Clydebank Town Hall, which we have invited representatives of all main political parties to attend.

"We will be asking each political party to share its views on these proposals and, in particular, the EIS will continue to urge the ruling Labour party group in West Dunbartonshire to abandon these unpopular plans once and for all."

Further strike action is scheduled for April 26 and 27.
