WORKERS at Fife College are at the picket lines this week, as the sector’s two-year pay dispute with unions continues.

After a national one-day stoppage and lobby of Holyrood in February, college lecturers’ union EIS-FELA has adopted not only a work to rule and results boycott but also the strategy their comrades in the nation’s schools used last year, targeting ministers’ constituencies.

Last week saw two days of stoppages at Dundee and Angus College aimed at winning the attention of Further Education Minister Graeme Dey and Finance Secretary Shona Robison, who slashed college funding by £32.3 million in her latest Budget.
