“Labour said education would drive economic growth.
Yesterday we saw nothing for FE, and a dog’s dinner for HE.
With 15,000 HE jobs at risk and staff leaving FE, we don’t have the mechanisms needed to deliver growth.” @drjogrady.bsky.social yesterday.

Last night Suzi from FE told us how they won their ballot - personal contact.
In the final week they:
• organised every day
• tracked turnout daily
• went door-to-door in departments
• messaged every member
• kept energy high in every building
That is how we win. Keep going, everyone!

90% voted YES.
32 colleges over the line.
17 colleges already won pay awards.
This is a huge organising win for our FE members.
College bosses must work with us, staff deserve a fair deal, especially when many are paid £7k–£9k less than in sixth forms.
Next steps announced next week.
