UCU members and representatives took the fight against cuts in post-16 education to London on Wednesday 10th November 2010.

Below are a few of the photos from the day and there was some good publicity for us, including Kathy Taylor (Vice-President of UCU and a lecturer from our region) appearing on BBC breakfast news to state our case http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-11724170
