It's time for a New Deal for Further Education ⏰ 👉 Parity with schoolteacher pay 👉 A minimum starting salary of £30k 👉 National agreements on workload 👉 National bargaining For too long FE staff have been undervalued and under-rewarded. We need a #NewDealForFE 🚨

College leaders are right to call on the chancellor to tackle the recruitment crisis in further education The government needs to use the Budget to properly fund the sector If FE colleges were VAT exempted this year it could help close the pay gap 👇 feweek.co.uk/172-college-le…

How many students like Mohammed will defend their thesis during a genocide? How many Palestinian students were not given a chance to finish their education? Palestinians have the highest literacy rate in the world. They deserve an education and a life free of Israeli terror. 🇵🇸

🚨 This A&E nurse is right... “All we're getting is that we're not working hard enough, we're not working fast enough, we're not seeing enough people”

We've written to the prime minister today calling for his government to increase the rate of statutory sick pay, £116 a week is not enough to survive. Alongside 23 other unions we are saying: ✊ It's time for #SafeSickPay bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

If elected as UNISON General Secretary; I won't accept the full £166,000 pay package. Instead, I will take the pay of a social worker and ensure the rest of the money goes to UNISONs Industrial Action Fund and our There For You charity! My pay goes up when your pay goes up!✊

Reform UK talks big on apprenticeships but you can’t build skills for the future on poverty pay. College lecturers are the lowest-paid teachers in the UK. This must change.

Reform tried to shut down five care homes in Lancashire. UNISON and the community stood firm and stopped them. We can defeat Farage and his hateful, anti-worker politics. Huge well done to UNISON North West & local campaigners, showing the way✊ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The University of Sheffield has stopped paying staff. Not for striking but for refusing to work unpaid to make up for strike days they were already docked for. This is punishment, not negotiation. And it’s completely reckless. ucu.org.uk/article/14380/…
