It's time for a New Deal for Further Education ⏰
👉 Parity with schoolteacher pay
👉 A minimum starting salary of £30k
👉 National agreements on workload
👉 National bargaining
For too long FE staff have been undervalued and under-rewarded.
We need a #NewDealForFE 🚨
Yesterday our General Secretary @drjogrady & @goldsmithsucu rep Yaiza went to Parliament to call on MPs to protect university jobs.
The government needs a credible plan to fix the university funding crisis.
Tune in tonight to hear how we #ReclaimHigherEd 👉 https://t.co/7ntkGongWj

As nominations for the position of general secretary draw to a close, I wanted to let you all know that I will be standing for re-election
But at this point there are far more important things for me to be doing.
Colleges to receive over £500m to fund staff pay rises
Good news!
Just to be clear…
To FUND staff PAY, not buildings!

#RespectFE - please sign the pledge and re-tweet.
Westminster, on the whole, doesn't respect #FE or the hard work of those who work in Further Education #colleges for our adults and school-leavers. Should they? Do you?

Sending solidarity to @ucu members in FE
A 1% pay offer is insulting. Inflation has been in double digits all year & shows no sign of abating. Notwithstanding Mortage & Rents 🚀
Employers really are living in cloud cuukoo land.
Time to value FE staff

@DrJoGrady@DrJoGrady: “Our colleges play a crucial role empowering learners of all ages and backgrounds to realise their potential… So why is that not recognised by employers or by politicians? Why is that not reflected in your pay packet and the way you’re treated at work?” 🔥🔥🔥
