Help us alleviate financial hardship for professional staff.

We are a teaching union at a large North London FE college who are currently striking to reduce unmanageable workload and to increase our pay, which has fallen 35% behind inflation over 10 years and £9000 behind that of schoolteachers.

Most worryingly, we are some £6000 a year behind lecturers' pay in comparable colleges that have secured a decent pay award.

We are hoping to raise money to alleviate the financial hardship for members who face the greatest impact of pay deductions because of these strikes.
