Lambeth College staff are fighting to save the Brixton site from being sold-off. They are also striking on Tuesday over cuts and contracts. This is just some of the action that needs your support during these coming weeks. Resentment among public sector workers over pay and privatisation is also building up. Last week, a quarter of a million teachers struck, in Southwark closing or partially closing more than 60 schools.
