Massive Support from EIS members - Strike Day 30 Nov 2011
There has been massive support for today's strike from EIS members the length and breadth of Scotland.
Only around 30 of Scotland's 2700 local authority controlled schools are open today - a clear sign that the 55,000 teacher and lecturer members who were balloted by the EIS have supported the action in massive numbers.
Many thousands of teachers and lecturers have joined public sector colleagues on marches and rallies across Scotland. In Edinburgh, over 10,000 marched including thousands of EIS members - the largest combined trade union march ever seen in Scotland's capital.
In Glasgow, many thousands more marched to defend pensions, including a huge contingent of EIS teacher and lecturer members.
Keep visiting the EIS website for further updates and images throughout the day.
