Welcome to the Chesterfield Branch of the University and College's Union blog.

Thursday, 20 June 2013


UCU members at Chesterfield College took our third day of strike action today (Thursday June 20th) in our fight against compulsory redundancies at the college. Despite awful weather there was once again a solid turnout on the picket lines from both UCU and NASUWT members.  

We highlighted our opposition to the jobs massacre at the college by holding a "funeral march" complete with coffin, mourners in black and the grim reaper. Strikers had brought along pots and pans and the normally quite Infirmary Road rang out to incessant beat of protest.

UCU members will be meeting on Tuesday for a Branch Meeting to map out the next stages in our campaign to Defend Jobs and Defend Education at Chesterfield College.
