STRIKING college workers in Edinburgh took their fight for better pay and against cuts to Bute House today.

Members of the college lecturers’ union EIS-FELA gathered outside the First Minister’s official residence at 8.30am, as Humza Yousaf prepared his resignation speech.

They called for cuts of £32.7 million to the sector this year to be ditched and for intervention on a pay dispute with College Employers Scotland, which has seen them without a pay rise for almost three years amid rampant inflation.
