We don't want to be on strike. It doesn't make sense that we've been left out of the 5.5% pay award that teachers in schools get.

Today 32 colleges across the country are going on strike, teachers will be holding a demo outside the DfE at 12 today.
We are asking for equality across education. Why do schools and academised funding get 5.5% but we don't?

To all MPs

Repeat after me "6th form colleges do not set their own pay award"

*6th form colleges do not set their own pay award*

Remember the SFCA? The SFCA do. And they need reassurance about funding.

It's honestly that simple.

Some 16-18 year olds are going to have teachers paid less than others for identical courses.

5.5% was not for everyone

Getting up and ready for a picket and a rally.

I'd rather be teaching.

There shouldn't be different pay for teachers teaching *the same courses* in different buildings.

📢 Day 8 of posting until Bridget Phillipson responds. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Rachel Reeves and Bridget Phillipson channelling their inner Scrooge by leaving non-academised SF teachers out in the cold this festive season.

A fair pay award could fix this. #scrooge

Today my college will hold a picket line AND some of us will be going to London to protest about college funding outside Keir's constituency office.

Like seriously this is silly now. Just assign some money to our colleges for fair pay & equal funding compared to the others!

College workers play a crucial role in the education & training of young people.

At a time youth unemployment is at a historical high, this strike has broad economic implications for Ontario.

Ford is literally selling Ontario’s education to his ultra-rich friends.

Education money should stay in education, not in private, well connected companies.

We demand stricter oversight, transparency, and accountability now.

Ford's gravy train

Clients of Ford's campaign manager received $100 million from the Skills Development Slush Fund.

The Auditor General called the fund "not fair, transparent or accountable."

Every tax dollar from this Ford Slush Development Fund needs to go back to finding Ontario's post-secondary institutions. Ford government keeps stealing our money!!!
