Statement on strike action – Furness College

Some Furness College staff who are members of the University and College Union (UCU) have chosen to strike on 6, 7 and 15 December. Students are asked to attend college as usual unless contacted with alternative arrangements by their Curriculum Area, Development Coach or Employer.

 

Many other colleges and universities are striking in coming weeks and months as you may have seen in the news, which is a sign of the challenging funding climate we are operating in. The recent autumn statement included £4billion additional funding for schools but none for further education. We have written to our local MP and requested that he raises this with the Secretary of State for Education.

If you have any queries about the above, please contact your curriculum area or development coach.
