Day 5 #UCUstrikes We may have boozy coffee but we're still #AngryLibrarians with #intimidatingbunting sheffielducu.bsky.social

Well this is some terrifying shit.

Please, please support real bookshops over the next month, either chain or indie. This is a terrifying time to be closing our doors again when we’re normally gearing up for our busiest weeks of the year, and giving your money to A*azon is akin to signing our death warrant

So happy about this 😀theguardian.com/books/2020/nov…

We moved the position of the Library picket to the IC today. Unfortunately our employers aren't interested in changing their position... #UCUstrike #OneOfUsAllOfUs sheffielducu.bsky.social

It's never been more important to ensure you have protection at work & that comes from being in a union. It's not just for you - it's how we will build a fairer economy for us all #HeartUnions week 💚❤️💚

Back today (briefly it would seem) from #UCUstrike It's about what you do, not what you say. This applies to the jibber-jabber of university values statements And every campus coffee shop radical who finds a 'plausible excuse'

Back to work after seven soggy #UCUstrike days, angrier than ever about #USSmess. Huge thanks to everyone sheffielducu.bsky.social UCU working so hard for us all.  If we're fighting for you too then join UCU #OneOfUsAllOfUs #angrylibrarians

We welcome all new joiners! Here is a short video about why the strike action is happening: youtube.com/watch?v=F6Lf9n… If you have questions, please get in touch either with us ([email protected]) or with your departmental UCU rep (ucu.group.shef.ac.uk/about-us/depar…) #OneOfUsAllOfUs

This applies to anyone in the USS pension scheme, including professional services staff. Currently I stand to lose 43%, cutting my projected annual income on retirement practically in half. I'm furious. And pretty upset. If you are too, join UCU sheffielducu.bsky.social and fight back ✊

Library Staff still on #UCUstrike outside the IC - strategically making use of the roof sheffielducu.bsky.social

🚨‼️ BREAKING: USS trustees have confirmed that the basis for cuts has disappeared, as assets hit £88bn. We need you to urgently: ❌ Lobby your VC to ask UUK to revoke the cuts: ucu.org.uk/article/12114/… 📝 Sign the emergency petition to the JNC chair: speakout.web.ucu.org.uk/uss-cuts-are-n…
