The Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) said on Thursday strikes would begin on April 16 and would continue until May 3. Lecturers from City of Glasgow, Glasgow Clyde and Glasgow Kelvin college will be the first to walk out.
College lecturers in Scotland will begin almost three weeks of rolling strikes from next month in a long-standing dispute over pay, union officials have said - with staff in Glasgow being the first to walk out.

The EIS believes the strikes can “help bring an end to the long-running industrial action and finally deliver a fair pay settlement for lecturers”.
“The EIS-Fela does not accept that their members should be treated any differently to any other public sector worker and are simply seeking a pay offer which is reflective of their public sector status and their professional role in education.” “Colleges have proposed a full and final £5,000 consolidated pay rise for all staff over three academic years: £2,000 in 2022/23, £1,500 in 2023/24, and £1,500 in 2024/25.
