Glasgow pupil support assistants go on strike 31 October 2013 Last updated at 08:43 Pupil support assistants in Glasgow are staging a 24-hour strike which will disrupt the schooling of children who need extra support. Trade union Unison is fighting moves to ask the workers to take on extra responsibilities without paying them any more money. They involve healthcare and the administration of medicine. The council said all the schools in the city for children with complex learning needs would be shut. The city's three schools for children who need additional support will also be closed. Most mainstream schools are not expected to be so badly affected but some individual pupils have been told to stay at home.
