It’s helps you embrace your autism, it makes you feel normal and they don’t judge you. At school you had to mask it and act like people who don’t have autism. It is also likely that we will pivot our local industrial action in this campaign from ASOS to strike action. Given that "deeming" is a complex area of law, there may be grounds for members – with EIS support – to appeal any disproportionate or unlawful deduction by individual members by making legal claims. This cannot be done collectively, and could lead to employers dealing with hundreds of claims. Your lecturers are taking part in industrial action short of strike at City of Glasgow College. This means that we will still be working to provide teaching and learning but we will not be undertaking certain work activities. This will include not using Canvas or other college VLE, not running online classes and not entering assessment results. The national EIS-FELA body has been demonstrating outside the Scottish Parliament and has called on the Scottish Government to fix the national crisis affecting colleges, so they recognise it is a national issue. It doesn’t make any sense to go out on local strikes on a national funding issue as it can’t change anything. action itself to decide whether they participate in it. It is only after the industrial action has begun that you need respond to your employer, if asked, to state that you are/have taken industrial action. Any request before the industrial action begins should be met with a response that states that EIS has informed you that the legal notice has been given and that you are not required to set out further information about your intentions.

There’s quite a significant decline in quality there, and while we’re talking about the decline in the number of hours we have an increase in the number of students. If the college requests a member to record or share specific student marks, the member is advised to explain that they are participating in lawful industrial action and will not, therefore, enter nor share any results. Please support your lecturers and ask College management to stop the cuts to your teaching time and courses.

EIS general secretary Andrea Bradley said: “City of Glasgow is still a public sector, publicly-funded college and as part of the funding arrangements the college must be able to demonstrate a commitment to Fair Work.

Jacqueline George, a lecturer in supported programmes said: "We take young people who perhaps need a second chance, in supported programmes it’s a wide range of abilities. Fortunately, over 70% of our lecturers have been putting students first by continuing to work, which is minimising the disruption to students, and the College remains open throughout the strike action.”Members are further advised not to share any marks carried out as part of IV/EV procedures. Any work that members submit for IV/EV purposes should not include student marks. The Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) said its members will strike for an additional 15 days, starting on September 5, over cuts to learning provision coupled with redundancies. If you are asked to take a new class or module, or it is introduced to your timetable, as a result of the above, please do not teach this class.

Liam Quinn is a student with autism who has completed a course in computing and will graduate to a mainstream course next year. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it without my lecturers, they helped a lot. That’s why I’m supporting them today.” Not covering classes or modules for absent colleagues which were previously taken by colleagues who had their fixed-term contracts ended in November 2022 or thereafter; For more than fifty years, the City of Glasgow College has played an integral role in educating the next generation of Glasgow’s workforce, providing accessible and diverse opportunities for students to enhance their skillset across a broad range of subjects and industries. This mission has never been more important, as we look toward what will be a skills-led recovery of Glasgow’s economy.”He said: "At first I was scared when I came to college, the lecturers calmed me down and helped me throughout my course. This national industrial action covers all unpromoted and the promoted lecturers that have their pay negotiated through the NJNC. In those colleges The lecturers are more chilled, they understand you a lot better and they understand what kind of help and support you’re going to need." The EFQM Assessment team and jury were greatly impressed by the leadership team in City of Glasgow College, and their relentless focus on innovating and adapting to change while keeping their attention firmly on the needs and welfare of the student body.”
