Call for mass pickets at select locations last week so I joined this one at the Wave which meant I got to meet some brilliant people, including @sheilawebber.bsky.social who has inspired me to pursue my pipedream of one day doing a PhD by publication ❤️🙌 #ucustrike @sheffielducu.bsky.social

Mass strikes to hit University of Sheffield & Sheffield Hallam in November and December over job cuts A combined 28 days of strike action will hit the city of Sheffield over the next two months in rows over job cuts at Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam universities, UCU announced today.

Getting ready for the #picket line! And I won't miss our rally with @sheffielducu.bsky.social & @ucuhallam.bsky.social (12.30 Barkers Pool). All that we ask is to get on with our work without being subjected to continuous harassment. @ucu.org.uk #ucustrike #Sheffield www.ucu.org.uk/article/1423...

I'm still on #UCUStrike. Yesterday people in targetted groups at #NewcastleUniversity got emails inviting them in for a "resizing" meeting. Management say they're still going ahead with redundancies, though they still haven't moved to compulsory redundancies.

So, unless something changes, I […]

Nearly a thousand University of Sheffield staff say they have “no confidence” in vice-chancellor over cuts, following union vote Staff have expressed concerns about management decisions made by Koen Lamberts and his team, as well as heavy handed responses to anti-apartheid protestors.

If you're a @sheffielducu.bsky.social member, please don't forget to vote for strike action. Also, remember the damage that this Executive has been inflicting to your university (see below). @ucu.org.uk @ucu.org.uk #UCUstrike #Sheffield #SaveBritishUniversity

Original post on mathstodon.xyz

Today I'm on #UCUStrike because of Newcastle University management's mismanagement of our resources and imposition of compulsory redundancies.

It was obvious years ago that relying on international students' fees wasn't sustainable.

Given the reduction in income, the university should look to […]

Picket line full of people in brightly coloured outdoor Big Coats and quite a lot of UCU pink caps and beanies. Lots of strike placards, including a home made one that reads "FAIR PAY SO WE CAN STAY", and loads of dogs also. Weather a bit grey but members look resolute!

Strong Myerscough UCU picket this morning!
