While ECC branches fell 3 votes short of the national ballot threshold, local UCU reps have worked hard to secure the best possible final offer from the employer. This offer represents a significant pay rise for lecturers. Those at the top of the scale are receiving a cost of living pay award of 7.76% and the whole scale has changed. The bottom point of the scale is now £33,100 and the top sits at £39,000 for a full-time lecturer.

The employer’s offer is a significant achievement and a testament to the collective power of our union. We need your participation. We need to hear from you – your opinion is important to us. Your voice and vote are crucial in shaping our future. We encourage everyone to engage more actively in union matters. Your participation not only strengthens our bargaining position but also ensures that we accurately represent your interests and concerns. Together, we can continue to make positive changes in our college.
