Staff from the northern regional office of UCU went to the picket line today at Westminster Kingsway College to show their suport for the pensions strike.
Members from South Tyneside College had "twinned" with the Branch in recognition of the long (but successful) battle that they had over Lesson Observations. Having just entered a dispute themselves, the UCU Branch at South Tyneside College sent messages of support to Westminster Kingsway for the action that they were taking today over pensions and had taken previously over un-announced inspections.
