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
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.
Future of art courses
All-out for big demonstration at Blood Service HQ in Watford! IU 610s, other wobblies and supporters will be visiting the offices to cause a fuss and demand that the head honchos revoke their damaging proposals, democratise the service, and are called to account for their shoddy and dangerous policies.
Bring noise-making implements, banners, placards and loads of friends!
PUBLIC MEETING
YMCA, East Street, Leicester (opposite train station)
Save Leicester Adult Education College!
Organised jointly by Industrial Workers of the World LAEC job branch 620, Leicester general members’ branch of the IWW, UCU members and other staff at LAEC.
EVERYONE WELCOME!
STOP PRESS… STOP PRESS… STOP PRESS… STOP PRESS… STOP PRESS…
Finally on 17 March, staff receive an email from Head of Adult Skills and Learning, Chris Minter, who is “pleased to announce” certain details of the privatisation of Leicester Adult Education College.
You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out that something rotten is going on at Leicester Adult Education College. With job losses; staff being re-located; skilled people disappearing; restructuring, with staff having to do more than one job; people who’ve left not being replaced… Leicester Adult Education College is suffering.
The outcry from hospitals, staff and the public at the dangerous and stupid proposals has meant that in the north and south-east, the board have been forced to scrap the idea of supercentres. One excellent victory that we can claim is that the Newcastle centre is now to remain fully open, and Sheffield also keeps many more functions.But the axe still hangs over essential labs at centres across the country.
