At Leeds University, UCU, the Universities and Colleges Union, voted for strike action against cuts and compulsory redundancy plans made by the university management. Guess what! As a result, the university management are `reconsidering their plans'.
Sussex University management is also announcing plans for job cuts. A determined Stop the Cuts campaign is demonstarting to stop the cuts. Actions so far have included an occupation/ sit-in. Dave Hill, a former Governor of Sussex University, and Professor of Education, called for universitty workers and students across the country to take similar militant action against job cuts.
