Staff at a Lancashire college have won an pay rise of up to 12.8 per cent – the highest awarded to an FE college this year.
Myerscough College reached the deal following strike action and talks with the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS).
It marks the highest pay deal reached by any college in England this year, and higher than the University and College Union’s (UCU) pay demand of 10 per cent for FE staff in 2024/25.
Union members at the college took to the picket line for three days in November and called off four days of strikes in February to enter negotiations with college bosses.
