STRIKING college lecturers rallied alongside politicians and trade unionists to fight the City of Glasgow College’s plans to axe its trade union education centre.

Labour, SNP and Green politicians, as well CWU, Unison and Unite members, joined the picket at the college’s Riverside campus in the city’s Gorbals district.

They not only showed their support in EIS-FELA members’ three-year battle to win a pay rise, but also demanded a halt in proposals from under-fire college principal Paul Little to close its TUC Education Centre.
