Lecturers in England, Wales and Scotland have equivalent pay to schoolteachers. However due to "government caps on public sector pay", they fall around £2,500/year behind in Northern Ireland. Lecturers are involved in an ongoing work-to-rule and "withdrawal of goodwill" at all 16 Further Education colleges, with Monday's strike action the fourth in recent weeks.
