柠檬导航 has today welcomed a deal at Newham College that will see pay rises across the board as well as a lump sum payment.

柠檬导航 members voted to accept the deal, which will see a consolidated 8% pay rise for staff earning up to 拢25K and a 5% consolidated pay rise for qualified lecturers and curriculum managers (2.5% increase backdated to September 2022 with a further 2.5% to be paid from January 2023). The deal also includes a 拢600 non-consolidated lump sum for staff earning over 拢30K and 拢750 for those earning below 拢30k.

柠檬导航 regional support official Caroline Lake said: "This deal will see pay rises for staff and comes on the back of meaningful and successful negotiations with Newham College management. It highlights that the resources are available to offer further education staff a decent pay rise in the face of a cost of living crisis.

"We are always willing to work with management and we welcome the way in which management have engaged with 柠檬导航 in negotiating this agreement. The deal we have reached shows exactly what can be achieved when our members stand together".
