Dumfries and Galloway College staff are being balloted on taking strike action after an “insulting” pay offer.
The Educational Institute of Scotland Further Education Lecturers Association (EIS-FELA) is asking members at Scotland’s 26 colleges if they would be willing to strike after employers failed to improve on a two per cent deal which was rejected before Christmas.
The ballot opened on Monday afternoon and runs until April 13 with union members asked to show support for strike action and action short of a strike and a boycott of entering student results.
