Teachers, lecturers, firefighters and more all gathered on Devonshire Green for an enormous rally, before marching down to the bottom of The Moor and then making their way up to Sheffield City Hall. The rally featured a range of unions including the NEU, PCS, UCU, Unite and Unison all attending, as well as the Sheffield branches of the Labour, Green and Socialist parties. There were also a number of student groups marching alongside the unions.
As people gathered, speeches were made and music was played before the march began down Fitzwilliam Street, across Charter Row and Moore Street and along Fitzwilliam Gate. The march then turned up The Moor, went past Sheffield Town Hall, before turning up Barker’s Pool towards City Hall, where another rally was held.
