Was in the negotiating meeting here and it was astounding to hear the employer say that they didn’t want to be seen providing these things (that they asked us to suggest) as a result of the branch asking for them Completely shocking and bad faith approach to industrial relations

It actually makes me cry when I think of the change at Sheffield. An apparently deliberate shift from pretty good industrial relations to a highly punitive zero-sum approach. What is the end game? Even success in ‘defeating the union’ will be the most pyrrhic of victories. 😢

Oh my. If management thought they could weaken the branch by stalling and offering up nothing, judging by that sheffielducu.bsky.social meeting they've miscalculated badly. Really heartening stuff! Big meeting, big vote on staying strong, fury at management's spin.

'Speech is free but broadcasters have to follow broadcasting codes' @mlothianmclean asks why the GB News presenters would choose to exercise their freedom of speech to be misogynistic and why this type of language is used for entertainment. trib.al/yFmk4X4 📺 Sky 501

A win for the workers Thanks to everyone who backed us #TwoOfUsAllOfUs

Would particularly encourage all Professional Services staff to join UCU/the relevant union for your role. Whatever reassurances are made today, “restructures” rarely, if ever, lead to improvements in conditions or staffing levels. PS staff most at risk in short term.

'We didn't consult staff as this is v complex. The reality is you need a hypothesis, which we have and want to test. Major org change should be agreed in two months so that staff won't have uncertainty' Unbelievable stuff in this The University of Sheffield staff briefing sheffielducu.bsky.social
