West College Scotland - EIS FELA Branch

Scandalous that college lecturers and support staff are forced again to strike for decent pay. Scottish government need to pay up for Further Education. Solidarity from @ScottishTUC #FightingForFE

Thanks to all who spoke today and brought solidarity to our national rally. Keep fighting for fair pay and keep #fightingforfe

Great to be back in New College Lanarkshire Motherwell Campus this week. Thank you @NCL_EIS_FELA for being wonderful hosts, and to the students and staff at The Wee Braw Shop for the warm welcome. Solidarity with all @EISFela members fighting for the future of further education.

Sher speaking eloquently on behalf of students and their families. Education is the way out of poverty for many.

📣 NUS Scotland President @elliebgomersall at the @EISFela #FightingForFE rally outside the Parliament: “We’re here, fighting for the future of further education - that’s exactly what you’re doing, it’s exactly what we’re doing, and we will stand with you as we fight together.”

Strong pickets at City of Glasgow College thanks to @CogcEis and @unisonscot See you in Edinburgh! #fightingforfe

It might be windy but nothing was going to shake the solidity of ⁦@unisonscot⁩ and ⁦@EISFela⁩ colleagues on the picket line at Glasgow Clyde College this morning. Proud to stand with them. #Solidarity

Buzzing after a great @unisonscot picket at Kelvin College with our @EISFela colleagues. Grateful for visits from Cllr @_AnthonyCarroll, Unison NEC member @JonesWintersong, student support from @theonecalledme and of course Education Minister @GraemeDeyMSP

Solidarity @EISFela colleagues who are looking for a fair pay rise.

The fight continues until we win! #FightingforFE

@GraemeDeyMSP @scotgov A completely tone deaf post. One of those positive destinations, Further Education sector (remember, one of the areas in your portfolio) is taking national industrial action today. No learning, no teaching, no assessment, no marking, no feedback, no progress. Positively terrible!

📢 Stats show 95.9% of 2022-23 school leavers - a record high - were in positive destinations 3 months after leaving school. 📉 Gap in % between most & least deprived areas is also at a record low - progress that @scotgov is committed to continuing. 👉 graemedey.info/more-school-le…

@GraemeDeyMSP @scotgov And yet….

College lecturers are out on strike today because they’re criminally undervalued and chronically underpaid and instead of addressing that, you’d prefer to play whataboutery with other workers who are just more underpaid. It’s not the win you think it is.

Serious rally today which confirmed our determination not to be bullied and to stand up and keep #FightingForFE #RedeemYourself To all the MSPs who met with us and to those who have listened and who have spoken - thank you.

Standing with @EISFela and @unisonscot members on the picket line at Ayrshire College-Ayr Campus this morning as they take strike action in order to secure fair pay. All eyes on FE as staff and students fight to save the sector too. The cuts across FE are scandalous!

College lecturers across Scotland have walked out on strike action, as a long-running dispute over pay and jobs continues. #FightingForFE eis.org.uk/latest-news/fe…
