College strike in First Minister's back yard

COLLEGE workers staged strike action at the heart of the First Minister’s constituency today to demand an end to further-education cuts.

Dozens of lecturers took to the picket line at the Cardonald campus in Humza Yousaf’s Glasgow Pollok constituency, in the latest in a series of EIS-Fela strikes targeting constituencies of Scottish government ministers ahead of further rolling action next month.

Despite the disruption to teaching, strikers continue to enjoy support from students in their struggle not only to win better pay but to reverse the £32.7 million in SNP-Green Scottish government cuts under way this year.
