So many fiefdoms.
If no national FE system, then parity is difficult to achieve.

No more quasi independent fiefdoms.
No more headhunting and poaching of colleagues.
First priority must be to achieve parity across FE England.
No - across FE UK.
First stop - BNN.
Binding National Negotiation.

2028 Carey reports on Social Care.
So, WTF are Skills England doing?
Why seemingly so secret.
My recommendations - for free.
- Nationalise FE
- National Pay Scales
- Parity with schools.
It'll take time - so better start now!

If you couldn't live more than a month without a wage or a salary, then you, my friend, are truly working class.
No pretensions, please.
No kidding ourselves.

When the cost of living a modest life isn’t covered by your wages…
…then working your ass off just so the rich can get richer starts to lose its appeal.

OK - here it is - has anyone been discussing this in pay talkks so far? Has this already been spent? Has it been "ring-fenced" in your college? (Some hope!)
More importantly - has it arrived AND have you been offered an award based on this so-called "uplift"?
