Vote Yes to strike action.

Yesterday , the same day that our HE colleagues are taking strike action, UCU will begin balloting members in FE in England for strike action. Ballot papers will be arriving from Monday 4th November. http://www.ucu.org.uk/media/pdf/6/m/FE_VoteYes_flyer.pdf http://www.ucu.org.uk/media/pdf/6/a/FE_VoteYes_poster.pdf UCU members in FE have seen their pay fall 15% in four years while workloads and stress levels continue to rise. Instead of addressing the unions’ claim for a modest rise to begin to reverse this fall in salaries, the employers have offered another pay cut with the condition of more local bargaining. This would usher in a new attack on working conditions for our members in FE. A strong vote for strike action is now the best way to stop this race to the bottom in FE. Vote Yes to strike action.
