Remember, if you haven't already, post your ballot before the Christmas rush @edinburgheis.bsky.social @eisunion.bsky.social

Proud to stand with so many trade unionists, community groups and activists, to say no to fascism and the far right. We can't let the billionaires divide us! Ordinary people need to stand together to demand a better world for all!

Members of the Edinburgh EIS Executive are all voting YES YES in the statutory EIS workload ballot.

This is a disgrace! And a legacy of decades of political choices. Austerity was not inevitable, but a conscious decision. A decision that has seen the rich get richer, the rest of us get poorer, and children go hungry. app.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/story/full_p...

EIS members - make sure your voice is heard! The current situation CANNOT go on. Vote YES:YES. @scottishgov.bsky.social and @cosla.gov.uk - we need ACTION on workload, not vague promises and back of the envelope plans... app.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/story/542299... @eisunion.bsky.social

Today is the first day of our Advent Workload Campaign Calendar. For the next 25 days, we will highlight reasons to vote YES YES in the Workload Statutory ballot. First up: EIS President Adam Sutcliffe explains why you should vote YES YES! www.eis.org.uk/teacher-work...

Your vote matters. Only one thing will persuade the Scottish Government to deliver the manifesto that it was elected on – we, the teachers and our collective resolve to press for promises to be honoured.

Teachers at Towerbank Primary School will be voting, yes, yes!

The EIS has announced its deep disappointment at the Scottish Government’s announcement of its proposals over the promised reduction in teachers’ class contact time. https://www.eis.org.uk/latest-news/sgcctannouncement

As with everything related to LGBT issues that @eisunion.bsky.social puts out, this member briefing is excellent. It will be useful to anyone attempting to stand up for trans rights.

For anyone who may have missed the workload ballot webinar on Tuesday evening, a full recording is available on our website. Please note, a subtitled version of the webinar will be available very shortly! https://www.eis.org.uk/workload-ballot/webinar

Show your solidarity with our colleagues at Dundee & Angus College! FELA VP Thora Hands will be there to show support! @thorahands.bsky.social @eisunion.bsky.social

Promises have been made to learners and parents/carers too. With ASNs increasing the job cannot be done with the time we have available. When the new ballot paper arrives, return it with a yes/yes vote as a first step to achieving manageable workload and appropriate ASN support #SU4QE @eisunion

EIS campaigns so large they're visible from space! Today, EIS organisers are at the Scottish Labour policy conference to engage MSPs, councillors, and prospective candidates with members' concerns about teacher workload, pupil behaviour, ASN resources, college cuts and much more.

Remember to post your ballot 🗳️ #FairPayToday

My @eisunion.bsky.social ballot is in the post!

To all the colleagues unable to secure a permanent contact and to all of us buckling under the pressure of our workload. ✊🏼 @eisunion.bsky.social @edinburgheis.bsky.social

David Belsey appeared on STV Tayside to discuss the action at Craigclowan School.

Ahead of Black Friday tomorrow, we've previewed the deal offered by the SG & COSLA. Who remembers the SG''s "Promise Now, Deliver 5 Years Later" deal offered in 2021? Always read the small print with these deals: who noticed it could only be delivered by the threat of industrial action?

The scandal of precarity in our classrooms has to end! Teachers deserve permanent contracts, and pupils need stable staffing! @scottishgov.bsky.social must act now! #SU4QE @eisunion.bsky.social theedinburghreporter.co.uk?p=620525
