Teachers to Vote on Strike Action
Teachers will vote on strike action next month due to "excessive" workloads.
The EIS union has notified Scottish councils of its intention to open a ballot for industrial action.
The promise made by the Scottish government was based on a reduction of teachers’ maximum class contact time, to 21 hours per week.
EIS general secretary Andrea Bradley stated that this move serves as a warning to the Scottish government ahead of the SNP conference in Aberdeen.
