Barnet & Southgate College staff told to vote to strike
30 June 2022
UCU general secretary Jo Grady and president Janet Farrar met with staff at Barnet & Southgate College to urge them to vote yes in a strike ballot over low pay.
Staff are being balloted after college management refused to offer any more than 2% for the previous two financial year, and UCU is demanding a significant uplift to help meet the cost of living crisis.
UCU general secretary Jo Grady said: 'Staff at Barnet and Southgate College are voting yes to strike action because they are sick and tired of being undervalued by their employer.
'The current offer of 2% is well below inflation and will do nothing to help staff through a devastating cost of living crisis. All of those who work in further education need to push back against a college that does not value its staff and force management to come back to the table with a better offer.'
