Please pass on a message of support from Wakefield NUT for your
strike.  I was a student at Manchester Poly in the 80s’ we were
fighting against cuts then and so the struggle continues over 30 years
on.
Lets hope one day spending money on education is more of a government
priority than spending money on waging war.
If there is anything else we can do to support your dispute please
don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Yours in peace and solidarity

We are all sick to the back teeth of hearing time and time again from colleges, universities, schools, hospitals and workplaces around the county that the workforce is ‘too expensive’ and that more courses and services need to be cut, only to pave way for pay rises for principals and VCs and fancy new buildings.
Young people in this country took to the ballot boxes to vote, despite many writing them off as self interested or apathetic, and not just over tuition fees but about not been able to afford to pay rent. We need to get behind them.
Austerity is over!
Solidarity from London Region and let us know what else we can do to support you.
Best wishes
