Secretary's Update 26 June 2025

Dear EIS Member

Well, we've finally made it to the holiday, and the end of the school year.  Another year when the collective strength of our union has won some really significant local and national victories (NO education cuts in the CEC budget and the agreement to reduce class contact time are two important examples, but they are not the only ones).  Our strength comes from the engagement of our members, so a big thank you to everyone who has voted in a ballot, filled in a questionnaire, attended a rally or branch meeting, gone to an EIS professional learning event, or done any of the myriad other things that keep us Union Strong.  I hope you have an absolutely fabulous holiday, and come back rested, refreshed and ready for another year of collective action where we work together to make a positive difference for members, for pupils, for schools and for wider society*.

Stay safe and well, keep on being kind, and enjoy the holidays!

Alison

* ‎Speaking of which, I hope some of you will be able to make it to the Reclaim the Streets rally at 1pm tomorrow in Montgomery Street Park (between Leith Walk and Easter Road).  I'll be there, with a large EIS flag, so do come find me so we can stand together against the efforts of the far right to divide us.  And keep an eye on https://www.eis.org.uk/edinburgh/latest for other opportunities for collective action that might come up over the summer).
