Day 2 of our colleges special looks at the ongoing pay disputes.
@stell_garrett reports that thousands of jobs are at risk in colleges, with even compulsory redundancies expected by those running the sector.

Have you sent your emails yet @EISGlasgow members? If not please, please do so today. These cuts will have a drastic impact on how we can support pupils in Glasgow.
A really important letter has been e-mailed to members today. Please e-mail your local councillor to express how devastating these cuts will be for our young people. With crippling workloads and a rise in violence, we need more teachers not less! #TeachersMakeGlasgow

Colleges face a £32.7m funding cut, but are standing by the offer of a £5,000 consolidated pay rise for lecturers over 3 years.
This would keep Scotland’s college lecturers as the UK’s best paid, with salaries at the top of the unpromoted scale increasing to more than £48,000. teapaw.org/CollEmployScot/status/…

You can keep repeating the same tired lines but it doesn’t change facts: it a real terms pay cut. Just because our underpaid lecturers are paid more than other underpaid lecturers, doesn’t make it acceptable.
