Our General Secretary @DrJoGrady went on @BBCNewsnight last night to tell the nation about the shockingly low pay of further education college lecturers 👇

[UCU @ucu]

We're fighting for pay parity with schoolteachers ✊

The additional £300m from the government has to be ring-fenced for staff pay.

Sign the petition for binding national bargaining in further education 👉 https://t.co/4Ii46gbuS6

[UCU Ulster @UCU_Ulster]

Is @ulsteruni VC oblivious to what is currently happening in England?

In this disappointing interview he argues that the fees & funding system operating in England provides more "stability" for HE

Not in the experience of our English comrades, VC!!

Thanks to @AliceMLabour for coming to the @ucu lobby of parliament and listening to the damage funding cuts in FE have done and to the need for a #NewDealForFE

Thank you @WarinderSJuss for raising our members' concerns in Parliament.

It's time to raise further education teachers' pay.

It's time for a #NewDealForFE

@DraytonManor @DraytonManor I just paid £123 for tickets to Drayton Manor next Wednesday. After completing the purchase I then had to fill in details such as car registration etc to download my tickets. I did this, but nothing happened. How can I get my tickets

Kings speech gives hope for workers in the UK.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

The Employment Bill will be a vital stepping stone towards:

⏩ Making work pay.
⏩ Ensuring security and respect at work.
⏩ Ensuring good employers are not undercut by the bad.

Improving the quality of work is hugely popular with voters across the political spectrum and can raise living standards.

Delivering the New Deal in full will improve the working lives of millions and help turn the page on an era of low pay, low rights and low productivity.

@CWUnews Hi CWUnews, this is great news. Was repealing the anti trade union laws in there? Been looking, but I haven’t managed to figure it out yet.
