March to Defend Jobs, Services and Education

posted by Unison worker | 09.05.2009 13:15

Saturday 23 May, 2009. Assemble 11.00am at Highbury Fields, N1.

Demonstration and March from Highbury Fields to a Rally in Archway Park.

Supported by Islington National Union of Teachers, Public & Commercial Services Union., London Metropolitan University Unison & University and College Union.

As unemployment soars, 1,500 jobs in Islington and Holloway are about to disappear.

At London Metropolitan University, 550 posts will be cut, mostly support workers.

At Archway Tower, 500 civil service posts will be cut.

At City University, adult education courses are at risk.

Join us on this march that will bring together university lecturers and support staff, students and civil servants demonstrating against these attacks on our livelihoods and the welfare of our families.

Starting from Highbury we will pass London Metropolitan University in Holloway, where its 'widening participation' agenda could become a relic if courses and facilities, such as nurseries, close.

We will rally at Archway Tower, the threatened workplace of hundreds of civil service staff.

The march will be followed by an evening of music and comedy to Defend Adult Education, starting at 7.30pm, at The Cross Kings, 126 York way, Islington N1 0AX. Kings Cross Tube. Organised by CALL (Campaign for Adult Lifelong Learning)

March with us to say NO to this avoidable cull of jobs, NO to the narrowing of educational choice and NO to the shrinking circle of opportunity.
