So what has happened to FE pay in 2024-25.
Nothing.
It's likely to stay that way if we don't start to show some spirit.

@SophyRidgeSky @Innovandiamo Politicians - stop pretending low taxes are good.
I don't believe it.
If we all pay less tax, we have less to spend on public services.
Wealthier people should certainly pay more tax than poorer citizens, and large multinationals should pay up as well.
Raise personal allowances.

Do you know what your neighbouring college pays its staff?
If you do, then well done.
But do they know what your college pays?

@Maxine4UCUVP @CookieBaloo @UcuswRC @UCUSOUTHWEST @UCUequality Should be - but ... 😉

[John-UCUSW-RegCommittee @JohnUcusw]

I've just been ticked off (quite gently) by @CookieBaloo - rightly so.
What are we doing in UCU SW and South to involve our black members and all our members from other ethnic communities?
Who is up for kick-starting this project?

I've just been re-elected to the SWTUC Executive for 2023-24.
You as a UCU activist could be considering how you can learn more about solidarity with our other Union colleagues. This is where we extend our understanding of trade unionism.
Your turn next year?

Listening to Kudsia Batool TUC and Rebecca Sixsmith-Hughes TUC speaking about Equality and Racism in the workplace at the SWTUC.
Who will be here next year, either with me, or perhaps instead of me?

Positive vibes at the Portadown 999 picket line ✨ #FoodbankPhil

@SocialistNHS Absolutely.
Although I really do think that all that clapping should have been enough reward! (NOT)

Further Education is on its knees.
Would I advise anyone to start a career working in a college?
I'm afraid I not. Anything but.
You will be exploited, paid pitifully and worked into the ground.
It is soul destroying.

The boy has now completely lost it.
Now utterly irrelevant. Great shame.

We’re disappointed that members of CWU have voted in favour of industrial action. This ballot result does not necessarily mean there will be industrial action. We will continue to seek an agreement.
