Lambeth College Industrial Dispute

EDM number 677 in 2014-15, proposed by John McDonnell on 12/01/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Higher education and Industrial relations.

That this House notes with grave concern the continuation of the long-running industrial dispute at Lambeth College, provoked by the college management's attack on staffing provision and employment conditions, including cuts in sick pay and holiday entitlements, which has resulted in the disruption of the education of the students since April 2014; and calls on the college management to enter into serious negotiations with UCU, the local trade union, to resolve this dispute constructively and allow the college to focus once again on its provision of high-quality education and training, thus avoiding jeopardising its current Ofsted status.

This motion has been signed by a total of 7 MPs.
