Branch Committee receives messages of support

The Branch Committee at Edinburgh's Telford College have received several massages of support from our colleagues at Colleges of Further and Higher Education throughout Scotland including this message from Motherwell College:

"We were shocked to hear of Telford College’s outrageous attack on its lecturing staff. Such a serious threat to all should be fiercely resisted to protect pay, conditions and pensions. It must be sickening for you all to see the contempt shown by your management. I hope you will have the full support of FELA and the EIS main body in a concerted effort to make life very difficult for your disgraceful management and to attract wide publicity to show the public how low a publicly funded educational institution can sink. All our members at Motherwell College send best wishes for your campaign to stop the spread of this disease."

Once again the decision makers get it miserably wrong. It seems that membership in management ranks anywhere in the "civilized" world now requires believe that Mrs. Thatcher actually had a brain. It is not about being a soft hearted liberal lefty...it's about good management. In this case - What is best for the students? Good luck in your struggle, our future is in your hands.
