Those walking out next week will include librarians, IT specialists, technicians, administrative and business support staff, cleaners, canteen workers and estate management staff.UNISON further education branch secretary Chris Greenshields said: “College staff were due this pay increase a year ago. It’s unacceptable, even by the standards of the college sector, to take this long to agree a pay deal.
“We need the same guarantee that has been given to the rest of the public sector that there will be no compulsory redundancies. Gavin Donoghue, director of College Employers Scotland, said: "It is disappointing that UNISON has announced national strike action - colleges will now seek to put in place measures to mitigate the effects of any proposed action on their students' education.
