UCU Hallam are serious about negotiating over 130 proposed job losses, including redundancies and the systematic erosion of our members' terms & conditions. The university is not serious about working with us or delivering high quality education. #SaveSheffieldHallam #UCU

@UCUNUbranch last week passed a momentous vote of 'no confidence' in the Board of Governors @NorthumbriaUni and called for the Chair of the Board to resign over their mishandling of plans to rip off pay and pensions. Here's why: ucu-unn.org.uk/news/333-gov-…

Sheffield Hallam UCU State of the University Report 2026. Previous cuts have reduced staffing to the lowest levels in the sector. Further proposed cuts exacerbate a death spiral of declining education and research quality, and ever declining income.

Degrees of Uncertainty in Sheffield. With permission @UCU reps @UCUHallam branch read out excerpts from messages they have received from their members regarding the latest proposals from @sheffhallamuni managers. This is no way to run an #HE institution #TUC

Tuition fee rises aren't the answer. To be clear @UCU_Ulster is not calling for that as a resolution.
@ucu policy is for a fully funded HE sector: ucu.org.uk/article/4626/Tuit…
This is not students Vs staff, & we will vigorously oppose any attempt to present this as the narrative

This is abhorrent from @UlsterUni @StudyAtUlster senior "leaders" who, after leaving colleagues with the news of 450 redundancies today, are not meeting with staff until 12th May to discuss the redundancy process 😡🤬
Staff left hanging for nearly 4 weeks

Members have agreed to temporarily suspend strike action ahead of ACAS talks. Strike action next week will therefore not go ahead.
