Weekly Update: Monday 7th May 

Dear all,

Hope you had a good workers’ day weekend. Mostly standing items to share this week, with the petition and Wednesday demo as highlights.

  • Dispute: There’s @EISGlasgow to follow for updates around this and 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 heard and debated in parliament.
  • No Cuts Petition: Glasgow Needs Teachers was launched Thursday 25th and building by the day. Please sign & share Sign Petition because this is a vital Campaign action and, to date, is closing in on 8,000 signatures.
  • Anti-cuts Demos: All welcome and please come along to these constituency targeted demos at Govan Cross, 4.30pm this Wednesday 8th May and same time on the 15th at Langside Hall, Shawlands. 
  • Pensions Q&A: Stephen Stewart, EIS Pensions and Payroll Specialist, will be holding the last of these meetings this Wednesday 8/5 at 4pm. This is an opportunity for EIS members to raise general queries around pensions and around the McCloud Remedy. Visit the EIS website to submit your registration details.
  • HMRC Tax Reclaim: When 2023/24 P60 is out, see EIS advice here and note that the template letter can be amended to suit.
  • Reps Training: This is planned for Friday May 17th and on CPD Manager with update to follow.
