Dear all,
A bit later this week but we held off because of the emergency Committee of Management held yesterday where it was agreed to move forward with Dispute actions.
- Dispute: Glasgow LA has met with GCC Administration to push for progress. We want no cuts to teacher numbers over the three-year budget, we oppose 172 posts being made redundant now and we deplore last year’s loss of 125 posts. We have heard little to reassure us that these cuts will be reversed so have advised the employer that next step is to open a Consultative Ballot for members. Look out for information to follow.
- No Cuts Petition: Glasgow Needs Teachers was launched two weeks ago and building by the day. Please sign & share Sign Petition because this is a vital Campaign action and over 11,000 have signed so far..
- Anti-cuts Demos: All welcome and please come along to the second constituency targeted demo outside Langside Hall in Shawlands 4.30pm this Wednesday 15th May.
- No Cuts Campaign: There’s @EISGlasgow to follow for updates around our No Cuts campaign. Councillors are meeting with Reps and branches and we’re building support with a motion going forward to Parliament here. A short message to your MSPs asking them to support this would be very helpful towards getting this motion, and others like it heard and debated in parliament.
- Reps Network: This has been moved to next Tuesday 21st and will have opportunity to discuss the campaign and ballot.
- Reps Training: This Friday May 17th and on CPD Manager to sign up to. There will be a campaign update and how to build member engagement along with training on case work and H&S.
