Great to see media coverage of the hostile and punitive approach taken by management at @sheffielduni.bsky.social towards @sheffielducu.bsky.social staff striking to protect jobs. Threats and intimidation won't work. We're out until we win!

Hello from the #DigitalPicket line. I'm simultaneously disappointed by senior management's communication around negotiations and impressed with all the amazing @sheffielducu.bsky.social colleagues that have been on the picket lines and continue to engage in constructive discussions Solidarity!

It's good to re-up this for World AIDS day. If you don't know the whole story I'd recommend reading the thread. It really sucks that Grohl and the band have been allowed to sweep this under the rug, because their support had real, significant consequences.
I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl.

Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

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

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:
