College lecturers vote to accept pay deal
14 July 2006
College lecturers in the 樱花动漫 have voted overwhelmingly to accept a pay offer from their employers for the next academic year.
樱花动漫 today announced the result of its ballot of its members in further education colleges: 80% of those voting voted to accept the pay offer.
Barry Lovejoy, head of Further Education at 樱花动漫 said: 'Our members have accepted this deal as the best achievable through negotiation. The settlement of the dispute offers the prospect of industrial relations peace for the sector but we expect employers to play their part and honour this deal in full.
'In particular the 140 colleges who have still to implement the modernised pay scales agreed over two years ago should pay particular heed to the clause in the agreement that recommends local talks on this take place with trade unions.
'We expect all such colleges to take up the opportunity to reach agreement before March next year on the process of introducing the new pay scales bringing lecturers pay closer to that of schoolteachers.'
