Morning all,
- Glasgow No Cuts and SU4QE Campaign Update: Our current position of suspended strike action is an act of good faith. We have had a further meeting following LNCT earlier this month, have responded to subsequent proposals and will update members on the dispute position following this Thursday’s Committee of Management meeting. Nationally, we are also in dispute over CoSLA and Scottish Government’s failure to put forward a proposal that would see us move towards a reduction in class contact time from 22.5 to 21hrs and to commit to the 1.5 being in teacher control. This is a key aspect of the Workload theme in SU4QE campaign and, if no significant progress toward resolution, then a ballot after the holiday is likely.Please contact glasgowla@eis.org.uk if your Branch would like a speaker to attend any upcoming meetings and we’d be happy to arrange this. We’d address all aspects of Glasgow SU4QE campaigning and any other agenda items which have been raised.
