Staff at City of Glasgow College have announced a new round of strikes as they seek to stop the cutting of up to 100 jobs.
The college says it and other institutions are facing "substantial funding and financial challenges", particularly after the Scottish Government reversed a pledge to provide £26m in funding to further education.
Members of the EIS-FELA union have been in dispute with City of Glasgow College since February due to the proposed cuts, increased workloads for lecturers, reduced face to face contact time for students and two rounds of redundancies - one of which will be compulsory.
Lecturers, parents and pupils have also expressed concerns at plans to cut funding for staff on additional support needs courses.
The union has announced a new round of strikes for September as the new academic term begins.
EIS-FELA members in the college will be on strike 5-8th; 11-14th; 19-21st; and 26-29th September.
EIS general secretary, Andrea Bradley, said, “City of Glasgow is still a public sector, publicly funded college and as part of the funding arrangements the College must be able to demonstrate a commitment to Fair Work. The complete opposite is true here.
"We have long-standing concerns over a culture of bullying of staff in this College, as evidenced by a survey the EIS-FELA branch carried out last year.
"It has so far been clear that the College’s senior leadership team aims to steamroller ahead with cuts and redundancies in their usual style: authoritarian, flippant towards staff concerns and student needs, and contemptuous of trade unions.
