PLANS to cut another 170 jobs at the cash-strapped University of East Anglia will hit the youngsters attending too, Unison has warned.

Nearly 600 services jobs — cleaners, caterers and administrators — have been lost over the past two years, said the union.

Unison UEA branch secretary Amanda Chenery-Howes said remaining staff are being treated as “little more than numbers on a spreadsheet” and are already struggling with the increased workload as a result of the cuts.
