Monica Lennon MSP raised a question in Scottish Parliament today concerning the ongoing dispute at City of Glasgow College, whose welding lecturers have been on discontinuous strike since March 2026 to put pressure on the College to provide RPE. The strikers simply want RPE and to return to work to teach.

Cutting 100 jobs will undermine the quality of education at GCU. We know it, staff know it, the students know it. GCU management, it's time to take compulsory redundancies off the table. Stop the cuts. Save the 100🛟

I’m glad to see motions at #STUCWomen26 from @EISUnion focused on peace when far too much of our current political debate involves sabre rattling for war

Last weekend, striking welding lecturers joined the EIS at the SNP Party Conference. Why won't City of Glasgow College provide our members with air fed RPE? And when will the Scottish Government intervene in this dispute?
