Defend Jobs Defend Education @ Chesterfield College. 70 Jobs under threat. Lecturers prepare to take action to defend education provision. Lecturers at Chesterfield College, members of the University & College Union (UCU) are preparing to ballot for possible strike action over the College management's plans to impose up to 70 compulsory redundancies at the College.  This is the third year in a row that lecturers and other staff at the college have faced the threat of redundancy.
