TUC Congress comes at a time when our whole movement finds itself at a crossroads. Are we going to accept the relentless attacks from the bosses, or are we going to fight back? UCU members are choosing to fight.
UCU members in over 100 colleges are balloting for strike action. This is our biggest co-ordinated campaign ever in further education. In higher education, we have called 5 days of national strike action at the end of this month and are balloting nationally for the third time in a year.
For far too long our colleges have been ignored by elites in the media and Parliament. But while their children will never set foot in a further education college, millions of working-class students do. And for communities throughout England, colleges are a lifeline, empowering students with the knowledge that can change their lives.
