STRIKE ACTION CANCELLED 

The national strike action scheduled by EIS-FELA (the lecturers trade union) for September has been cancelled after College Employers brokered a new pay deal that will bring industrial action to an end and settle lecturers pay until September 2026. EIS-FELA put the offer to members which they overwhelmingly voted to accept.

Why were the strikes happening?

EIS-FELA were involved in a national dispute over pay. Matters of pay, terms and conditions are all negotiated and resolved nationally with College Employers Scotland. The current Scotland-wide pay dispute had been affecting all colleges and we are pleased this has now been resolved at a national level.
