Burnley College UCU strikers out in force on the pickets during a college open evening, refusing to be intimidated by bizarre claims from the HR department that they could be sacked for the as long part in this ‘illegal’ strike (the strike was not illegal, it was lawfully decided upon and arranged in compliance with the UK’s very restrictive anti-trade union laws). A really determined spirit and great support from students and passers-by!
