Workers' education staff strike called off

AN UPCOMING strike in defence of jobs in adult learning was called off yesterday after employers agreed to enter meaningful negotiations with their union Unite.

Staff at the Workers’ Educational Association (WEA) in London were set to initiate industrial action on Monday after having been threatened in June with job redundancies and higher workloads for less pay.

The ballot for industrial action came out with an 85 per cent positive result.
