Backdown at James Watt

https://www.tes.com/magazine/archive/backdown-james-watt
Two days of action this week at James Watt College in Greenock were called off after last-minute talks with the Educational Institute of Scotland.

The college has struck an interim agreement with the union and will reopen talks on revised terms and conditions which should be concluded by mid-June, the original target date for around 100 compulsory redundancies.
