It is disappointing that, despite very strong Yes votes for industrial action, our ballot has fallen victim to a highly restrictive element of trade union legislation that is soon to be repealed. www.eis.org.uk/latest-news/ballotre…

Workload Ballot Falls Foul of Soon-to-be Repealed Thresholds: EIS to Re-Ballot Members for Strike
The EIS announced that its recent statutory industrial action ballot on teacher workload has become a victim of soon-to-be repealed elements of UK anti-trade union laws, having fallen short of the strict thresholds set in that Tory-era legislation.

1) Today, Jenny Gilruth stated that ‘her team’ had tried to organise a meeting with us several times. We sent an email on 27th June. A ‘special advisor’ emailed us 25th July. This person stated they were not acting on behalf of ‘either John Swinney or Jenny Gilruth’ (See post for emails)

Happy to be fact checked but John Swinney's tie looks an awful lot like the @eisunion.bsky.social 175th anniversary tartan tie. 👀

This ballot isn’t just about workload. It’s about wellbeing. It’s about keeping great teachers in the profession. It’s about better outcomes for learners. Vote YES YES now in the consultative ballot and put pressure on COSLA & the Scottish Government to act on CCT #SU4QE

Catherine Brown Glasgow LA, seconds the motion #EISAGM25 I work in an ASN school & my school is risk assessed for 95 yet we have 160 learners. We have nearly 12 per class. We cannot get it right for every child if teachers are firefighting, and if classes are overfilled and schools under resourced
