STRIKING lecturers brought seven London colleges to a halt yesterday as they fought more cuts to further education.

University and College Union (UCU) members at the Haringey, Enfield and North East London, South Thames, North West London, Croydon, Greenwich Community, Hackney Community and Lewisham Southwark colleges walked out over risks to hundreds of jobs.

The union’s pressure has already ended disputes over pay and conditions at colleges such as City and Islington, Tower Hamlets and Lambeth.
