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

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. See: ucuhallam.org/e6bx

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
