4 and a half years since MSPs were elected on this promise, the EIS has had to plan a statutory ballot for industrial action to make sure the promise is kept. All members should make sure their address details are up to date to help us meet legal thresholds for the ballot.

Anti-trade union laws make it very difficult to have a successful statutory ballot. To pass the thresholds we need membership information that's up to date. Please use www.eis.org.uk/Account/EISR... to register your details or www.eis.org.uk/Account/EISL... to login to the website.
