Respect FE

FE bargaining in England doesn’t work the way we want it to. UCU wants meaningful and binding national bargaining. That is not what we have and why we have developed a strategy to fix it.

Increases in pay alone won’t solve the relentless attacks on the professionalism of staff working in FE. Punishing levels of bureaucracy, unachievable deadlines and ever increasing surveillance in classrooms don’t just undermine you as educators – they are toxic to the experience of learners, too.
