Solidarity with public sector colleagues on the pickets today. From a household with an @ifut.bsky.social member, a @forsatradeunion.bsky.social rep, and two children taught by INTO members. And yes, Jack Chambers, we too are members of the public.

And with that, a reminder to observe the #digitalpicket tomorrow if you're an @ifut.bsky.social member, work in a HEI in Ireland, or if posting on Bluesky/ #spéirghorm can reasonably be regarded as part of your job.

Thanks! I can't claim the credit for the #digitalpicket - it was a @ucu.org.uk thing on Twitter for years.

It would, I think, be worthwhile if those of us engaged in the work stoppage today, and the forthcoming strike days on the 14th & 21st (if they go ahead), were to observe the digital picket during those times.

Members of my union, IFUT, will have a one hour work stoppage today, from 12-1, as part of the broader public sector union dispute. Read about it here: www.ifut.ie/content/ifut... - solidarity welcome on World Teachers Day

#DigitalPicket is a thing - union members of ucu in the uk asking colleagues who are not striking (and those who are) to respect the online picket by not promoting their own work or advertising work activities this week.

It's another day of striking on the #DigitalPicket along with my fellow members of @sheffielducu.bsky.social - the scale and pace of the continuous restructures by management are disruptive for students and staff. Read more on ucu.group.shef.ac.uk/industrial-a...

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!

So dismayed by the lack of resolution - industrial action at UoS continues 🥹 #DigitalPicket @ucu.org.uk As a researcher, striking for me is about mitigating the endless restructuring of, & redundancies for, our excellent professional services colleagues, whose labour makes our research possible 💪🏽

Heartbroken to be on strike (again) - never an easy decision 👍 We cannot accept a university in which staff jobs, student education, and research progress are under threat by major (and financially unnecessary) change management processes. @sheffielducu.bsky.social #Sheffield #DigitalPicket

A last addition to the info for students on my door before I go on #UCUStrike tomorrow. I'll be maintaining the #DigitalPicket, strike tweeting when I'm able to, and looking after my mental health as best I can.

Southampton didn’t meet the threshold but in solidarity with striking unis (especially QM where I TAd last term & is threatening 100% pay deduction for working to contract), I’ll be observing #DigitalPicket for pensions & 4 fights - the future of academia. Cat instead! #UCUstrike
