We have been through a lot in the last year. We moved mountains to ensure that our students get the education they deserve. In the last few weeks, we have been working even harder than usual at this time of year, to meet assessment deadlines.
Unfortunately, our going the extra mile to ensure that our students are awarded their qualifications has not been recognised. Management have cynically launched restructures, placed a number of our colleagues in redundancy pools, proposed new draconian observation policies, and cut our wages.
Why is it whenever managements fail to do their very well-paid jobs effectively, it is the front-line staff who are made to pay for their mistakes?
Show your solidarity with the FE UCU members by joining our live and online protest at 12:30pm on Tuesday 15th June 2021. Please share details widely.
