Lecturers strike over plans to replace them with lower-paid posts
Action comes after union accuses employers’ group of ‘rejecting its own proposals’
A LECTURERS’ union embroiled in a dispute with Scottish further education colleges has accused the employers’ group of “rejecting its own proposals.”
Members of Educational Institute of Scotland’s Further Education Lecturers Association (EIS-FELA) began strike action today as part of a campaign to halt the replacement of lecturers’ jobs across the country with lower-paid posts.
Last week, a joint statement by the union and employers’ body Colleges Scotland said that an agreement had been reached and so the action would be suspended.
