#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #UK #EASTLONDON #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) #UK, ACG: College workers strike in #EastLondon (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 College workers in further education at New City College's (NCC) campuses went

out on strike at Hackney, Havering, Redbridge, and Tower Hamlets on Thursday
October 6th and continued the strike until Tuesday October 11th, and again went
out on October 18th-20th, this time joined by Epping Forest college workers. ----
The pay offer from the college bosses the Association of Colleges (AoC) back in
June was regarded as derisory with a 2.5% increase seen as an insult. Inflation
is now at 12.3%. College workers are really struggling financially and it's not
just pay, the workload is unmanageable. In addition New City College management
has closed down nurseries, making life even more unbearable for workers with
children. Only one nursery remains on Hackney campus, with nurseries at Tower
Hamlets and Havering having been shut down. This is on top of ten days of action
taken by 23 colleges across Britain.
