On Thursday November 28th, Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th December further education workers in the National Education Union (NEU) will be taking industrial action in sixth form colleges for funding and pay. NEU members voted overwhelmingly to take strike action. 97% voted in favor of taking this action with a 62% turnout.
Socialist Students understands the importance of workers taking action to fight for better pay, funding and conditions. Socialist Students sends solidarity to the NEU and all workers taking strike action on college and sixth form campuses. Socialist Students members will be on the picket lines speaking to workers about their dispute. We call on all students to support staff and lecturers on strike.
These conditions that our staff are teaching us in are also our learning environment, with crumbling buildings, overworked staff and high fees for further education students who are 19 before the start of their course. If you want to fight for funding, not only to get better conditions for our staff but also to fight for free education, student grants and a safer learning environment, then join Socialist Students.
