Scottish college lecturers announce new term of strike action
EIS armband

COLLEGE lecturers have announced another two weeks of strike action across Scotland as their three-year fight for a pay rise enters a new term.

Despite some of the highest inflation in decades, lecturers at Scotland’s colleges have not had a pay rise since 2021, amid growing cuts, casualisation and redundancies in a sector grappling with £30 million slashed from its budget by the SNP Scottish government this year.

Winning renewed mandate for strike action last month, EIS-FELA have now announced six days of strikes over two weeks, August 20-22 and 27-30.
