Our members have voted to support industrial action to fight against job cuts passed today! In the ballot our 72% of members were in favour of strike action, and 90% in favour of action short of strike. Turnout was 58%. Thank you to all members, reps and officials for helping us get the vote out.

Let’s call a spade a spade. Or as they say in Armenian «Ծուռ նստինք, շիտակ խօսինք»։ (let’s sit crookedly, but speak straight) Our Union rejects the latest so-called recovery plan.

August 4, 2025, five years after the Beirut Port explosion. Questions about justice fill social media today, statements about never forgetting, never forgiving. But the problem is that we still don’t have all the answers about why this non-nuclear explosion occurred…

This is so disturbing

Be part of the action! If you’re at ISPP this year, join us in solidarity.

This was an honour to be a part of. Congratulations Dr. @danielbarnett7.bsky.social !

*sounds the "that was probably AI generated information, that's why you can't find it and now at least 2 library staff have had to do first an initial and then a cross check of that information to confirm it doesn't exist so yes, we've had double time wasted by your time saving efforts" klaxon*

Did we win??

We are extremely concerned by the letter from Ernst and Young, auditors at the University of Dundee. The letter suggests that executives submitted inaccurate responses during the auditing process. 1/2 www.parliament.scot/chamber-and-...

Do they even hear themselves?

Commenting on the announcement of an alternative recovery plan for the University of Dundee, Dundee UCU branch co-president Melissa D'Ascenzio said: 1/3

At yesterday’s Townhall with Professor Pamela Gillies and BDO, she mentioned that Alan Langlands taskforce would pave the way forward, including new procedures to appoint senior managers. Due to the exclusion of Dundee UCU from the taskforce there will be no academic voice or input. Disgraceful.

Cory Booker just spoke for 25 hours straight about defending democracy. Here's why we’re not clapping. — In 2019, he backed anti-BDS legislation — In 2019, he told AIPAC: “If I forget thee, O Israel…” — In 2021, he pushed normalization with Arab states—at Palestinians' expense

Lies and broken promises

For the first time ever, the Scottish Parliament is considering compelling witnesses to attend a meeting of one of its committees. These are clearly unprecedented times, caused by the executive leadership at the University of Dundee. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/...

As we all knew before they got elected. Labour would just be a slightly lighter version of the Tories. Favouring big business and the wealthy.

And here we can see a prime example of a coward

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

The University “is in my blood”

Our students know the score, and who is responsible for the financial position at the University. Executives, and Court members who continue to ignore attempts to engage with them, need to resign.

The admission. “There’s been inadequate financial discipline and control.” “Poor investment decisions including in IT systems.” “Weak compliance in financial control and a lack of accountability.” “Inadequate oversight at executive and court levels of our financial position”. This is damning!

Congratulations! A very worthy candidate elected at exactly the right time

Who knew what when?

Our wonderful colleague Usha explains how the current financial crisis and proposed 632 FTE job cuts is affecting her right now. Many colleagues feel the same way. The "recovery plan" needs to be scrapped. It's had a devastating effect on staff and students. #WeAreThe632 #SaveDundeeUni #SaveHE

The cuts to 632 posts announced by university executives hide behind the numbers. Every post is a person, a valued colleague. We share their stories, as part of our grassroots We are the 632 campaign #WeAreThe632 #SaveDundeeUni Up first is Anya who talks about how this will affect Dundee. 1/2

It is entirely right that the Scottish Parliament have invited Iain Gillespie to give evidence about the mismanagement uncovered at the University of Dundee. He should attend and be held accountable.

Happy St Patrick’s Day and Free Palestine!

Where's the evidence that mental health is being "overdiagnosed"?

Students at the University of Dundee have organised a Save Our University rally. Join them and us today from 12pm on Campus Green.

Pam Bondi: You'd better not "touch a Tesla." Here are the easiest ways to never touch a Tesla: Don't buy a Tesla. Don't rent a Tesla. Don't lease a Tesla. Don't accept a ride in a Tesla.

Every stick figure represents one job that is proposed to be cut from the University of Dundee workforce. We do not accept this. This is our university. It is the city’s university. #wearethe632 @ducuuo.bsky.social

We do not accept the plan as inevitable. We will resist.
