- Motion text
Both FE and HE's continued use of agency staff stymies the possibility for continuity, quality, professional development, job security and all other benefits enjoyed by their full time colleagues. Every year hundreds of agency employed staff find that their posts have 'disappeared' or their teaching hours significantly reduced.
This amounts to a silent compulsory redundancy without the usual package of benefits that accompanies the voluntary dismissal of full time colleagues. The position faced annually by agency staff in the sector is intolerable and we call on Congress to:
1. Initiate a high profile campaign in the press and media to pressurise the incoming government to ensure parity of professional status for all teachers;
2. Campaign for equal treatment for equal work;
3. Campaign for the eventual removal of all agencies from colleges and universities
