Scotland’s college lecturers have begun a 12-day rolling programme of strike action in pursuit of a fair pay award and job security.
Following the programme of rolling strike action, members of the EIS-FELA will undertake three days of targeted strike action in the constituencies of the First Minister, Deputy First Minister, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Minister for Further Education. “They have waited over one year, during a cost-of-living crisis, for a pay award and are faced with an offer, however it is spun, that their employers have stated will cost potentially over four hundred lecturing jobs.
“Their actions will speak louder than any words and only action, beginning with a fully funded and fair pay award for college lectures, will avert this crisis in Scotland’s colleges.”
