Forth Valley College EIS members are currently in dispute with their employers over the removal of some lecturers' posts.
The college have made the posts redundant and have introduced "Instructor/Assessors". This is a new role that involves more class contact hours, reduced annual leave, and lower pay.
The union locally have participated in consultations and discussions with management. They've told them loud and clear: colleges need lecturers. But management have continued to push their agenda - all in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.
