- Motion text
Conference notes the absurdity of 300 colleges in England conducting separate local negations on conditions. Similarly, Conference notes the absurdity of national FE pay deals that are not always honoured locally.
Countless thousands of working hours could be saved and damaging disputes avoided by adopting locally-binding national negotiations, as is standard in much of the public sector. Meanwhile the resources saved could be diverted to improving both working conditions and educational quality.
Conference instructs the general secretary to make formal proposals and to instigate talks urgently with the minister for skills and the Association of Colleges in order to achieve this.
