Further college strikes planned over lecturer’s pay dispute

The EIS Fela union believes lecturers are not getting as good a deal as other public sector workers and fears colleges will need to cut jobs and services to pay for it.

It recently submitted a revised four year pay claim.

EIS general secretary Andrea Bradley said College Employers Scotland (CES) are not approaching the negotiation “with the commitment and sense of urgency that is needed to bring this dispute to an end”.

She added: “It is quite outrageous that CES and its members continue to act with such flagrant disregard for fair work, for the people that they employ and for the unions that represent them.”

The union started a programme of national strikes on Monday. But there had been regular action at many strikes since March.

Ealier this week the CES described the strike action as “bewildering” and that it would “cost individual lecturers over £1000.”

It said that there would not be an improved pay offer.
