Barnet and Southgate College UCU members demand a decent pay rise and concrete measures to reduce workload
Barnet and Southgate College UCU call upon the College CEO, Darren Mepham, to pay a decent consolidated percentage pay rise and agree measures to reduce workload for his professional, hardworking and loyal staff.
Over a decade of below-inflation rises has seen members real-terms pay shrink and the gap with school teacher salaries grow.
Now the cost of living crisis and spiralling energy bills have made it even more urgent that members secure a fair deal. Huge increases in the cost of fuel, food, transport and national insurance are eroding the value of member’s wages.
In addition unsustainable workloads take a heavy toll on health. There are around 24,000 less lecturers in FE than in 2009. According to a recent UCU national survey, staff in FE colleges are working an average of 2 unpaid days (49 FTE hours) each week. Huge vacancies in FE are adding to this pressure.
WHAT DO WE WANT?
- Increased pay to restore college pay levels and mitigate below-inflation awards since 2009.
- Reduce workload by restoring course hours, providing adequately resourced student services that supports lecturers and implementing effective and integrated systems which will remove the duplication of tasks and will simplify processes.
- The wellbeing of staff to be at the centre of all decision making.
THE MONEY IS THERE AND OUR DEMANDS ARE AFFORDABLE
Colleges have built up substantial financial surpluses and reserves and are in good financial health. Not many FE staff can say the same!
This year, the largest increase in base rate funding for FE in over a decade, an uplift of around 8.5% for 2022/23, has been announced.
Across the country, workers and their unions including our fellow UCU members in prison education and universities, are saying ‘enough is enough’ and organising to take action to protect living standards and working conditions.
Sign our petition and join our campaign for a decent pay rise and concreate measures to reduce workload at Barnet and Southgate College
