Description

Up to 120 jobs could go at the Plymouth College of Further Education. Staff at a Plymouth college say they are so angry at threatened job cuts they are considering taking strike action in protest. The college has been put on a three year recovery programme because of its financial crisis. It has already lost £500,000 from its budget and will lose more because of national reductions in funding to all further education establishments. The University and College Lecturers Union NATFHE claim the college has had particular problems which have aggravated the financial crisis.
