First Minister urged to save college trade union education centre

SCOTLAND’S trade union movement has united to condemn plans to close the country’s only TUC education centre and demanded the First Minister step in to save it.

Twelve separate unions, alongside STUC general secretary Roz Foyer, have signed a letter demanding plans to axe the centre, drawn up by under-fire City of Glasgow College principal Paul Little, are ditched.

The proposal is as part of a broader cuts scheme at the college, which is grappling with a £2 million funding deficit this year amid SNP government cuts to the sector.
