2 more @ExtendedNac teachers supporting teachers on temporary contracts! Our Outreach teachers are visible over North Ayrshire individually rather than as an entire staff in one place. @EISNorthAyrLA@EISUnion#SU4QE
I'm wearing red today to show solidarity with teachers who are under-employed, on temporary contracts or are sitting on supply lists waiting for work! Our teachers deserve proper employment after training and working hard! @EISNorthAyrLA@EISUnion#SU4QE
WEAR RED in support of teachers on temporary contracts
The increasing casualisation of the teaching profession is bad for teachers, bad for students, and bad for schools. It creates great anxiety amongst the teachers who are underemployed, and robs young people of a stable learning environment.

Tomorrow our wonderful Junior Doctors will stage a 72 hour walk out.
They are desperate, overworked and underpaid. This cannot go on.
The government is happy to watch the NHS crumble. Well NHS staff are not.
Retweet to show your support!

When I was a kid the teachers went on strike.
I don’t remember much about those occasions.
But I do remember the time that they gave up for school football matches on a Saturday, moonlit rambles on residential, France trips to speak the lingo, evening shows and swimming galas🙏
This is incredibly powerful. 😭 Lorraine, a North Ayrshire teacher and child of the 1980's teachers strike speaking about how the values of social justice were instilled in her by teachers who stood together on the picket lines & took collective action then. Strikes educate. ✊🏽
Children’s education is not suffering because teachers are on strike.
Children’s education is suffering from years of underfunding, undervaluing and lack of understanding of how stretched schools are.
It’s not self serving, not greedy, it’s wanting better for the children.
This will no doubt be an unpopular opinion, but I’ve always taken the stance that if the union votes for strike action, then members *must* act accordingly.
Otherwise we are fighting for fair pay, etc. for members who aren’t making the sacrifice we are.

Group photos from @Auchenharvie at today's picket line. Outreach. EAL, PLA and Secondary Teacher groups. It was lively to all stand together! @EISNorthAyrLA
Bigger picket line today @Auchenharvie. Welcome to our newest @EISNorthAyrLA member, Dave Lodge, joining us today to continue to stand in solidarity with his colleagues. We are stronger than ever @cosla@scotgov
