- Motion text
Congress condemns the decision of the management of Northumberland College to seek to make redundant 33. 5 full time equivalent posts, the majority of which are lecturers' jobs. Lecturers are once again paying the price for years of financial mismanagement, ill-judged expenditure on a proposed new build, exacerbated by government funding cuts, which has resulted in a £1. 2 million deficit being forecast this year.
Congress congratulates UCU members in voting overwhelmingly to resist this threat of compulsory redundancies and take strike action to defend jobs and calls on branches to send messages of solidarity and support to help maintain their fight.
