Sheffield UCU @sheffielducu.bsky.social has been taking strike action in defence of jobs this term.

But in an alarming escalation, Sheffield management has threatened to "lock out", ie. deduct pay at 100% for each day, if members refuse to reschedule marking, beginning with the start of 2026.

On 14 December, an antisemitic terror attack took place at Bondi Beach, where many lives were lost and people injured.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and everyone affected by these tragic events, particularly the Jewish community.

We held a rally to mark one-year of the financial crisis at the University of Dundee.

We resolve to continue opposing compulsory lay-offs and a radical reshaping of the institution.

If we fight together we win!
