No redundancy policy at Edinburgh’s Telford College to end.

Since the start of the current dispute between the EIS and the Principalship at Edinburgh’s Telford College the literature released to students, the press and the public has contained the following statement.

“The use of agency lecturers does not threaten the jobs of existing permanent staff; in fact quite the opposite. The College has a ‘no redundancy’ policy which protects the jobs of staff.”

Although the Branch Committee acknowledges that this is a statement of fact we would like to point out that this policy will end in 2008 which less than 3 months from now.
