Humza Yousaf urged to probe 'fire and rehire' claims at his old private school
09.04.2023 - 17:23 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Humza Yousaf is being urged to look into fire and rehire accusations at his former private school. Hutchesons' Grammar School, in Glasgow, has been accused of "bully tactics".
And now NASUWT general secretary Dr Patrick Roach has said the First Minister should step in. Dr Roach used his speech at the union's annual conference in Glasgow to share his views on the situation.
The union balloted members at the school, with 87 per cent in favour of industrial action amid claims the school is forcing teachers to agree to new contracts which would see their pensions downgraded or face dismissal.
The school however has "strongly rejected" the accusations of fire and rehire and pension downgrades. In March, 80 per cent of EIS members - Scotland's largest teaching union - at the school indicated their willingness to take strike action. The EIS ballot will open on Tuesday and end on May 4, with strike action likely to commence two weeks later.
Unions have said the school issued teachers with "contract terminations and offers of re-employment" for those who have not yet signed the new terms, with a deadline of April 14 imposed. Fire and rehire refers to when an employer fires an employee and offers them a new contract on new, often less-favourable terms.
Speaking in Glasgow on Sunday, Dr Roach urged Mr Yousaf, who attended the independent school between 1997 and 2003, to tell the school to "desist" in its action. He said: "I'm today calling on Humza Yousaf to use his new position as Scotland's First Minister to fix this broken system.
"Intervene to stop the use of those bully boys tactics and to tell his alma mater Hutchesons' Grammar School here in Glasgow to desist from bullying our members and withdraw immediately their threat to fire
