Hundreds rally to save further education in Scotland

HUNDREDS of workers rallied alongside striking college lecturers today as they vowed to escalate their long-running dispute until victory is achieved.

Gatheried at Glasgow’s Buchanan Street steps, members of the Unison, RMT, CWU and UCU unions stood alongside their comrades in EIS-FELA, who have not had a pay rise since 2022.

They now face hard-line college principals’ deducting 100 per cent of pay for action short of a strike, a process known as “deeming.”
