On the picket line with North West Regional College staff striking over fair pay and better working conditions yesterday, Foyle MP Colum Eastwood immediately called for better pay and working conditions for all staff.
Said the SDLP leader: “I’m supporting the North West Regional College staff forced into taking industrial action today.
“Fair pay and improved working conditions are fundamental rights that every worker should have, and the dedicated staff play a pivotal role in nurturing talent and driving educational achievement.
“Ensuring they receive fair pay and better working conditions recognises their invaluable contributions, and it must happen immediately.
“Staff here must be properly paid to create a positive learning environment and experience for students.
“It’s about sending a powerful message about investing in education, making it a top priority, and setting an example for years ahead.
“I’m supporting the staff on the picket line and will continue to advocate on their behalf in Derry, Westminster and wherever I can so that they receive the proper pay and working conditions that they deserve.”
