Staff going off sick with burnout. People leaving the sector for good. And the workloads left behind only get heavier.
This is the reality for further education staff. Unmanageable. Unsustainable. And getting worse.

So there we have it. Reform UK want to repeal the Equality Act.
This is the law that:
Stops your boss sacking you for being pregnant.
Protects disabled workers who need adjustments to do their job.
Backs up equal pay for women.
Stops people from being harassed at work because they’re LGBT+.
Makes it illegal to refuse someone a job or a service because of their race or religion.
And THIS is what they’ve decided is the problem in Britain?
Not the cost of living.
Not NHS waits.
Not wages. (They said they’d actually them CUT for young people)
But YOUR rights.
THEIR culture wars would TEAR UP protections that millions of hardworking Brits rely on every day.
NO THANKS ❌

As we prepare to ballot, chaos on campus grows, overcrowded classes, overworked staff and a degraded student experience.
“Many universities have over-recruited domestically, leading to stuffed lecture halls and overworked staff.” @DrJoGrady

Nottingham UCU members have spoken: they’re ready to take action if management refuses to rule out compulsory redundancies. @UoNUCU
This is what happens when universities chase broken funding models instead of investing in staff and students.
Oh hey, would you look at that! Turns out you can't just make careless financial decisions and expect unions to roll over!

Last week a debate on the future of Higher Education took place in Westminster.
Our thanks go to Mohammad Yasin MP for bringing this debate to the fore.
Yasin on Labours plans: "none of this can be achieved without investing in teachers and lecturers.”
