Industrial Action - Potential Disruption to Classes

Latest information for students and applicants about industrial action at UHI Perth

Lecturing staff who are members of the Further Education Lecturers Association (EIS-FELA) trade union have been asked to take part in continuous industrial Action Short of Strike Action (ASOS) from Monday 12 February until Monday 15 July 2024. 

When we are notified of any future strike dates, we will post them here.

Implications for students are likely to include:

Classes Timetabled on Strike Days
Classes will be cancelled unless your lecturer informs you that it will be delivered online, or you may be provided with self-directed study in some cases. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with your personal academic tutor (PAT) for further advice and guidance.

College Buildings
College buildings will be closed with exception to the following:

• The Academy of Sports and Wellbeing (ASW) will remain open for ASW membership users as usual.
• Goodlyburn will be open for senior students only that are at a crucial point in projects and productions and will need access to the recording studios, rehearsal rooms and theatre – this must be agreed in advance with the Sector Development Director

College Nursery
The Nursery will be closed.

What is UHI Perth doing about this?
We are working hard to minimise the impact on our students and their studies caused by the industrial action by continuing to support the ongoing negotiations and strongly hope that further discussions can resolve the national pay dispute and bring the industrial action to an end. 

Further Communications
Any updates and developments will be posted on this webpage and on our Facebook and X accounts.
