College strikers take picket to Bute House
Bute House college picket

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.
