The SSTA Salaries and Conditions of Service Committee reluctantly agreed to recommend acceptance of the 4.27% offer to members as the Committee felt this was the best deal that could be achieved at this time. The ballot returned with 91% of SSTA members voting to accept the pay offer for 2024-2025.
 
Paul Cochrane SSTA Salaries and Conditions of Service Convenor said.
 
“The SSTA members have supported the Committee’s recommendation and voted overwhelmingly to accept the pay offer. The Committee will inform the SNCT Teachers’ Side of the outcome of the ballot and should other teacher unions agree we will be expecting the increase to be in teacher salaries as soon as possible”.
 
The SSTA Salaries and Conditions of Service Committee will be considering other findings of the consultative ballot including the drivers of teacher workload. A full report will be issued in the coming weeks.
