FESC notes:
1. Only English FE does not have national binding bargaining
2. DofE said FE teachers were excluded from the 5.5% pay rise, in part, due to
not having a pay review body.
3. The gap between schoolteachers and FE lecturers is continuing to increase
4. Teachers have been offered an unfunded 2.8% pay rise and have balloted
members
FESC believes:
a. The only way to gain national binding bargaining on our terms, not the
employers, is through demonstrating our collective strength.
b. To gain greater funding from government we cannot fight branch by
branch.
FESC resolves:
i. Prepare an England-wide IA ballot for FE England on the New Deal claim for
strike action in September 2025 to target the census date.
ii. Complete an indicative ballot before the summer to engage members,
prepare branches and build the campaign
