  • Speakers include Dr Jo Grady, UCU General Secretary.
  • Register for the London Region Zoom meeting to link up the protests

We have been through a lot in the last year. We moved mountains to ensure that our students get the education they deserve. In the last few weeks, we have been working even harder than usual at this time of year to meet assessment deadlines.

Unfortunately, our going the extra mile to ensure that I students are awarded their qualifications has not been recognised. Management have cynically launched, restructures, placed a number of our colleagues in redundancy pools, proposed a new draconian observation policies and we cut our wages.

Why is it whenever managements’ fail to do their very well-paid jobs effectively it is the front-line staff who are made to pay for their mistakes?

Show your solidarity with the FE UCU members by joining our live online protest.
