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.

This morning in 1916 after days of monumental artillery bombardment on the Somme, British and allied troops were going over the top.
