Tuesday my union offered to call off 2 weeks of strikes, in return for postponing the redudnacy of, maybe, 5 people for three months. Yesterday the uni wrote to all staff saying "not interested", unless we completely caved. Today we toured picket lines across campus:

Great picket at Firth Court today! Dignity has no price, integrity is a duty, justice is a must. We'll carry on defending our university from the assault of corporate greed, whatever it takes. @ucu.org.uk #UCUstrike #Sheffield @sheffielducu.bsky.social @ucuhallam.bsky.social

Today >450 @sheffielducu.bsky.social members soundly rejected an 'offer' from management that was an insult to the intelligence of our members. The #strike goes on in the hope that more meaningful negotiations will follow. The fight for higher education cannot be lost. Our future depends on it.

Our committee members come to the pickets come hell or high water (or broken down trains)
This is my “left home at 7am to get to @sheffielducu.bsky.social pickets only to be stuck over 90 minutes later in a stationary train a few miles from home” face. I also did not bring coffee.

We had a bit of snow on the picket this morning in the #ucu @sheffielducu.bsky.social strike action. We're a hardy bunch though, and the weather won't stop us fighting to prevent further redundancies.

Saw the sun rise across the Pennines this morning as I was on my way to Sheffield, sadly I’m here because we’re on strike to stand against compulsory redundancies at Sheffield, the continued erosion of our working conditions & students’ learning conditions
