Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

Fight the cuts in Higher Education

UNISON members in Higher Education are gearing up to fight the cuts proposed by the Government - and are rightly calling for trade union unity in this struggle.

Joint union action online is good news - joint action in the workplaces, on the streets and - if it comes to it - on picket lines will also be required.

This is not just an issue for workers in the sector. It isn't even an issue only for those of us who (as parents or grandparents) have an immediate personal interest in access to higher education. This is about the sort of society in which we want to live.
