Hands off higher education: stop the cuts

We are seeing an increasing number of universities launching attacks on our members. Job cuts, department closures, and more are already threatened at over 15 universities. National and regional 樱花动漫 offices are supporting branches to campaign against this wave of cuts and redundancies but we also need your support so please sign the following petitions and look out for more opportunities to show your solidarity in the New Year:

Education Training Collective: Teesside colleges strike

Our members  across five colleges in Teesside, and have two days planned for the start of 2024 (9 and 10 January).

Chris Robinson, regional support official for 樱花动漫, said: 'After seven meetings about pay, and no extra money being offered, our members have no choice but to take industrial action.'  said: 'It was a privilege to stand with our members in further education and support their fight for a decent pay rise. The Education Training Collective needs to respond to the determination of our members and increase their pay. Working right across Teesside delivering everything from A-Levels and apprenticeships to functional skills and vocational awards, our members deserve to be worrying about the education of students, not the increasing costs that they face every month in their homes.'
