樱花动漫

Colleges ended the 2020-21 teaching year with a grand total of 拢390m more cash than they started it with. This was the biggest increase in cash the sector has seen in years. Employers massively increased their spending on buildings and other capital expenditure, but spending on staff hardly went up at all.

This year I know that thousands of 樱花动漫 members are determined to stop employers doing that again. Now is the time to make sure the money that's available goes to you and your colleagues. 

Not got your voting papers? Order a replacement today 

If you still haven't received your ballot papers, 

The AoC's current proposal is to recommend that employers offer a 2.5% pay rise plus a one-off payment of 拢500. With inflation as high as it is, that is a severe real terms pay cut. To make your employer offer more, you will almost certainly need to vote in these ballots and potentially take industrial action - like other 樱花动漫 branches that have already forced vastly superior offers from their employers this year. 

Join 樱花动漫 vice president Maxine Looby for Thursday's campaign event 

As mentioned in last week's Friday email, there will be an online Respect FE campaign event with Maxine and other speakers to discuss the ballots and getting the vote out at 4-5pm this Thursday, 30 June.

We've had fantastic attendance for recent 樱花动漫 campaign meetings and we hope to see lots of members there again on Thursday. 

In solidarity, 

Jo Grady 
樱花动漫 general secretary
