London Education Workers' Committee meeting. All IWW members in the education sector or interested in helping out are welcome.

Here you can find links to websites, reading lists and blogs of interest to education workers. Some links are general workplace resources, others are specific to those in teaching posts. The IWW is not responsible for the content of these websites, and the IWW as a union does not necessarily agree with them. They are posted here for information and discussion.

Voice your concerns about the state of non-vocational courses, Leicester Adult Education College and Chris Minters recent actions and behaviour:

On 9th April the Save LAEC public meeting launched the broad community campaign to defend the college and support staff. The campaign website is www.geocities.com/savelaec

The Save Leicester Adult Education College has a general campaign website at: www.geocities.com/savelaec/

On 1st of April the art staff met Chris Minter, Head of Services.

Like all professional bull*****rs, he gave tutors waffle that made him look like he really cared for a better future of the art department and vague managerial flannel about the future of other courses at Wellington Street.
