What is the equality impact of the cuts at UHI Shetland? Cuts to Community Learning & Business + Creative Industries shut down opportunity for Shetland women most of all. @ShetIslandsCll @EISFela @EisShetland @ScotHumanRights @Shetnews @shetlandtimes @EISUnion @GraemeDeyMSP

We would be extremely grateful if members filled out the Workload Diary, as the findings will provide evidence of teachers’ workload burden, and how it affects their work and experience of teaching.

[Student Action @StudentActionFE]

@CollEmployScot You can keep repeating the same tired lines but it doesn’t change facts: it a real terms pay cut. Just because our underpaid lecturers are paid more than other underpaid lecturers, doesn’t make it acceptable.

[EISFela @EISFela]

FELA members in Dundee took part in targeted strike action this morning, bringing the picket line to the office of FE minister @GraemeDeyMSP

FE cannot be ignored and our lecturers will not be taken for granted @eis_dundeeangus #fightingforfe
