Gavin Donoghue, Director of College Employers Scotland, said:

“On Tuesday evening the EIS-FELA formally requested a meeting of the NJNC on Monday of next week, and offered to cancel a proposed strike day in order to facilitate meaningful negotiation.

“College Employers Scotland welcomes this approach and formally accepted this request at the earliest opportunity on Wednesday morning.

“We look forward to engaging with EIS-FELA in a way which leads to a constructive and affordable resolution to this pay dispute.”
