Lecturer in Communication and English. Political street fighter, educator, blogger, traveller, love golf and film. Anti Tory and everything that mob stand for.
Can’t help but feel further insulted by the @scotgov seeing this.
28 days strike(+) @EISFela took to end up with considerably less than Teachers over 3 years; + 4.14% in year 4 (which was supposedly restorative).
More bizarre rhetoric here👇🏻. Why did you he not resolve the FE debacle earlier. Evidently doesn’t care about the sector. At all. And I’m still waiting for an explanation as to why we are not worth the same as teachers??

@SandraW79347@edincol_eisfela@scotgov Yes, I agree, nothing whatsoever. Especially given Swinney’s admissions that £600 million being cut from public sector. I see more strikes coming in 2025. Solidarity ✊
@Lecturer_Picket @GraemeDeyMSP @scotgov@theSNP@EISFela I will not be accepting anything that does not give us parity with teachers this year. No year 4 nonsense unless restorative now and a decent offer for year 4. Otherwise it’s a NO from me. Not gone through all this for anything less @EISFela
It’s taken 2 years of turmoil, 29 days of strikes last term, a willingness to strike for at least 14 days this term and lecturers showing they’re prepared to lose their entire salaries, INDEFINITELY, for CES and ScotGov to act.
What does this tell us about the future for FE❓
@StudentActionFE@Lecturer_Picket @GraemeDeyMSP I u Der stand it too. I would just caution any @EISFela member who is not happy to give it serious thought. Once accepted that’s it until 2026. There has just been announcement of a 10% rise in energy cap come October. We deserve better.
You couldn’t make this up. Given that my FE employer will be withholding 100% of my pay, indefinitely, starting tomorrow, and will be including Saturdays and Sundays in their deductions, ScotGov’s Fair Work Action Plan commits to Scotland being a leading Fair Work nation by 2025!
Remember, at least £1000 of the year 4 offer should have been restorative pay, to account for the abysmal 2020-24 offer. To allow CES to rectify this, it’s the sole reason THE DEAL WAS EXTENDED OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD
We are being asked to accept a pay uplift for 2025 of 2.07%‼️
