Workload Ballot

The Consultative Ballot on Workload is now open! 

Check your email inbox for your voting codes.

Following years of little tangible progress, the EIS is engaging in a consultative ballot of its members for industrial action in pursuit of the SNCT dispute on reducing weekly class contact time to 21 hours.

The EIS is clear that reducing weekly class contact time to 21 hours, and ensuring that the full 1.5 hours to increase weekly preparation and correction time, would mark an essential step forward in addressing unsustainable levels of teacher workload.

If you have not received your ballot email (please also check your spam folder), send an email to ballot@eis.org.uk with your full name, address, establishment and membership number and we will arrange for a new email to be sent to you. 

All EIS members are urged to vote YES to Action Short of Strike and Strike Action.
