- Motion text
Conference acknowledges that consistent national and local campaigning over the last six years has achieved:
A convergence of pay rates in the sector, with a majority of colleges now using the national pay scales.
National recommended pay scales (outside London) comparable with school teachers at most points.
However conference notes:
FE lecturers average weekly pay still falls short of school teachers by 6%
50% of school teachers receive extra allowances of at least £2,364 pa.
Conference recognises closing the pay gap with schools requires the union to prioritise:
Implementation of the 8 point pay scale in all colleges.
Securing access to Advanced Teaching and Training points on the FE pay scale for lecturers.
Progression to higher points for part-time and hourly-paid lecturers on the FE pay scale.
Support for TUC agency workers rights campaign.
Improved and equal London weighting with schools.
