Properly funded education is an investment in the future. Running the system on the overwork of education staff is unfair and doesn't create the type of society we need. Be part of positive change and make sure your ballot paper is in the post. #su4qe @eisunion

We need every member to get to the post box so we can hold MSPs to account for their promises. It's time they properly invested in education and properly reduced teacher workload. Once you've voted please make sure your colleagues have voted #su4qe @eisunion

This report from the OECD confirms how few teachers there are per pupil in Scotland. Winning reduced class contact time would mean employing extra teachers, many of whom are already trained but without permanent jobs. We think this report is on the shelf with the elves. #su4qe

This report from the University of the West of Scotland seems to have gone on the shelf. You can make the Scottish Government pay attention to overwork by voting yes/yes in the postal ballot. #su4qe @eisunion

Day 2 of Report On The Shelf, The National Conversation found a real desire amongst teachers to have a great education system but a concern the system could change with so little time and so many initatives. Reduced contact time could allow teachers to lead the changes we need.

For those of you starting Elf On The Shelf today, we're featuring the Scot Gov tradition of Report On The Shelf. This usually features a piece of research recommending more investment which is then put on a shelf. In 2020 we needed more time. Workload has got worse since then.

Over 40% of learners have additional support needs. These needs have been growing and have been becoming more complex. At the same time the number of ASN teachers has been declining. Make sure to vote in our statutory ballot so teachers can get the preparation time they need. #su4qe @eisunion

Ahead of Black Friday tomorrow, we've previewed the deal offered by the SG & COSLA. Who remembers the SG''s "Promise Now, Deliver 5 Years Later" deal offered in 2021? Always read the small print with these deals: who noticed it could only be delivered by the threat of industrial action?

A red line for the EIS is that the 90 mins reduction in contact time must be given to teachers to use for preparing lessons and assessment. This time would solely be directed by the teacher in order to help with the huge workload. Please put your ballot in the post today #su4qe @eisunion

Jane, Fife EIS Secretary, and Inverkeithing HS, are voting yes. We're running branch meetings to encourage a huge yes/yes vote. Achieving a super-majority for yes/yes will give our negotiators the best chance of securing positive steps in reducing our workload #su4qe @eisunion

Research from the University of the West of Scotland shows that without change teacher workload is predicted to rise even further. We need the 90 min reduction in place as a first step to sustainable workloads. Please make sure your ballot paper is in the post. #su4qe @eisunion

The amount of unpaid overtime put in to keep the system running equates to two months of the academic year. This work is essential and needs to be valued with time given during the working week. Make sure your new ballot paper is in the post today! #su4qe @eisunion

A reduction in contact time would be fully funded so this is a vote for more permanently employed teachers, which we really need! Thanks for sharing your postbox pic @eisunion #su4qe
