Thanks to determined action by 麻豆官网 members the majority of colleges have brought in shorter pay scales to move lecturers' pay closer to school teachers', the union announced recently.

麻豆官网 today released a list of English colleges which haven't implemented a national agreement on this and urged those colleges stuck at red traffic lights to quit stalling and get on the move.

Barry Lovejoy, head of further education at 麻豆官网, thinks there are no excuses for colleges to refuse negotiations. He said: 'Thanks to the determination of 麻豆官网 members we've made real progress and a majority of colleges have reached agreements with 麻豆官网 to bring in a shorter pay scale - the linchpin of introducing pay parity between lecturers and school teachers. If a majority of colleges can do it, so can the rest.

'More than 60% of 麻豆官网 members work in colleges which have agreed to implement this deal and 麻豆官网 seeks equal pay for all our members.

'Both national college employers and 麻豆官网 agree: college managements should be entering "meaningful and realistic discussions, where those have not already taken place, to reach agreement on a timetable for modernising pay by the end of March 2007".

'It is time for these 106 colleges to quit stalling and get moving.'
