The fight to reduce teacher workload has reached a critical moment. Following the announcement that both the EIS and NASUWT have failed to meet the 50% turnout threshold, progress towards securing the vital 90-minute reduction in class contact time has stalled.
This makes the SSTA members’ ballot more important than ever. A strong turnout and a decisive YES vote will send a clear and unmistakable message: teachers are no longer willing to wait while employers and the Scottish Government fail to resolve their differences. Teachers are demanding real, meaningful action on workload—now.
A positive SSTA result will give our negotiators the strength and authority they need to push negotiations forward. It will empower teachers to take control of their workload and to refocus on what truly matters: high-quality teaching and learning.
SSTA members must stand together to defend the interests of secondary teachers and put negotiations back on track.
Please make every effort to return your ballot paper and vote YES to both questions.
SSTA MUST DELIVER THE TEACHER WORKLOAD BALLOT
