Members of the EIS Union in Edinburgh hold a rally at The Mound this morning<br /><br />Edinburgh teachers are out on strike today as part of a rolling 16 days of strike across Scottish councils.<br /><br /><br />Teachers have rejected this, with the EIS demanding a 10 per cent rise. However, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has insisted there is a “gap” between what teachers are demanding and “what is affordable”.<br /><br />Ms Bradley, however, said that there “continues to be miscalculation in Scotland of the strength of our members’ resolve” as well as a “misjudgement about the moral and financial unacceptability of another real-terms pay cut for education staff”.<br /><br />Further dates for strike have been announced for Tuesday 28th February and Wednesday 1st March if a deal has not been reached.<br />
