Unison members hope that parents and children will join in as they assemble in the city's Blythswood Square at 12.30 and march to George Square to launch the nursery nurses' national regrading claim. The rally is to be addressed by Margaret Jamieson, the Labour MSP for Kilmarnock and Loudoun, a Unison member whose daughter is training to be a nursery nurse.
Unison wants nursery nurses working in social services daycare centres to receive between 16,000 and 20,000 for a 35-hour week and 52-week year. They are currently paid between 11,000 and 14,800.
Nursery nurses in Scotland's schools now earn between 10,000 and Pounds 12,000 for a 32.5-hour week. Unison wants to see this increase to Pounds 13,000-16,800.
