The Further Education Lecturers' Association (EIS-FELA) is a self-governing organisation within the EIS and is constitutionally autonomous in respect of the distinct interests of their members in the further education sector in Scotland.
All members are full members of the EIS and enjoy all the same benefits. In addition, new FELA members are entitled to free membership for the first 3 months. Join online now.
The statutory re-ballot for industrial action has closed with EIS-FELA narrowly missing the 50% threshold required by the UK Government’s anti-trade union legislation introduced in 2016. The threshold was missed by a very small margin of twenty or so votes.
The EIS-FELA Executive has decided to prepare immediately to re-ballot its members to allow industrial action to continue in pursuit of a fair pay settlement and defence of jobs. Further details on the timescales for this immediate re-ballot will be shared as soon as possible.
