ENS bulletin for 24 April: “Support our teachers and lecturers!”
Posted on April 23, 2008

On Thursday 24 April, many tens of thousands of teachers (organised in the NUT union) and college lecturers (UCU) will be on strike over pay. They will be joined by civil servants in the Department of Work and Pensions and the Department of Transport (PCS), and by workers in Birmingham City Council (Unison) and the homelessness charity Shelter (TGWU). In all, hundreds of thousands of workers will be on strike.
ENS supports these strikes - because, as anti-capitalists, we support all workers in struggle against bosses. And we think it is particularly important for students to link our struggles to those of our teachers and other education workers - including by supporting the NUT and UCU as much as we can. That’s why we’ve produced a special bulletin about why students should support the strikes, which we’d urge activists to download, copy and distribute around their colleges. Please also give copies to your lecturers etc, to stress that students around the country are organising to support them.
