Unison was the only major union not to suspend three days of action among its non-teaching school staff planned to begin on Tuesday and run to Thursdayafter a new deal was put on the table. 

Unite and the GMB union both cancelled strikes to put the offer from local authority body Cosla to members, while Unison opted to ballot staff while continuing action. 

This means that while some areas will feel the full brunt of industrial action, others have been spared.
