The sun shining on those marching today #ScotlandDemandsBetter ✊

When the Gillies report was published, the expectation was that governance at the University of Dundee would improve. In all truthfulness it’s got worse. Much worse.

Starmer, Nandy and others have openly lied in the most despicable circumstances. They should resign now.

“Anyone who has any critique of Trump is potentially in the crosshairs,” says @mark-bray.bsky.social, a Rutgers professor who fled the country with his family after receiving death threats for his antifa scholarship.

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.

By "trans activists hijack" The Telegraph mean "trans people are involved"

First a synagogue in Manchester, now a mosque in Peacehaven. This racist hate needs to be opposed and opposed vigorously for all our futures. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This situation was already horrific enough and now this development ground.news/article/vict...

Zack Polanski saying what every politician should be saying, "It's problematic to weaponise the synagogue attack to silence protest in this country against the genocide in Gaza" "These are separate things and we should condemn them both"

MTUC statement regarding today's horrific attack on the Manchester Jewish community. Trade Unionists stand in solidarity with those affected.

All eyes on the Flotilla- witness the illegal actions of the IDF. Already protests in Italy and Belgium www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

All eyes on the flotilla.

The @ucuscotland.bsky.social banner at today’s anti-racist rally in Perth #RefugeesWelcomeHere

Cooper "The humanitarian catastrophe worsens.. children dying of starvation while food rots at the border" So you'll stop all arms exports to Israel? No So you'll halt all trade? No So you'll impose sanctions? No So you'll end all military ties? No So its just empty words

This is utterly despicable. They are bringing the union into disrepute. Solidarity with @uniteucu.bsky.social

An inspiring first day of picketing to kick off our 4 weeks of strike action! Faculty, students, AND a dog or two made an appearance.

How concerned are you that Israel will start annexing parts of the West Bank? Yvette Cooper: "We have been clear, & I have been clear to the Israeli foreign minister, we have been clear to the Israeli govt, that they must not do that" Or you'll write them a stern letter, right?

Another day, another anti-fascist counter protest in Falkirk where UCU members, reps and officers are standing against racism. @ucuscotland.bsky.social #refugeeswelcome

The people of Glasgow and beyond turned out. We made clear that we are united, we're together and, alongside the STUC, gave solidarity and support to all those facing hatred and persecution in our communities.

UCUE branch secretary / UCU Scotland VP and STUC Black workers co-chair standing up to racism together in Falkirk today @ucuscotland.bsky.social @cecilebm.bsky.social @scottishtuc.bsky.social

With another 9 @ucu.org.uk branches now calling on UCU to do the right thing we wonder if @drjogrady.bsky.social is listening to her members.

Really impressed to see fellow YP members and supporters move swiftly from WTF mode to redoubling efforts to build a democratic party from below. ✊

From @rs21.bsky.social YOUR PARTY: DON’T FUCK THIS UP revsoc21.uk/2025/09/18/y...

A Substack from me, addressing the consequences of the Tommy Robinson movement last weekend. We probably won't see more marches on that scale this year. What will happen, though, is a huge boost of energy for Farage and Reform davidrenton590934.substack.com/p/tommy-robi...

In our fight for fair pay, we stand alongside all the unions representing higher education staff. Our @eisunion.bsky.social brothers and sisters back UCU members, just as we back them 🤝 #WeAreTheUniversity

Universities are under attack. By defending ourselves, we are defending the whole sector. Vote YES. #WeAreTheUniversity

Telling fash f**kwits to f**k off in Falkirk today

UCU Edinburgh is proudly affiliated to @sutrscotland.bsky.social. This week, UCUE members stood together against budget cuts and mass redundancies. Tomorrow, many of us will stand together in Falkirk against racism. Come and join us! #RefugeesWelcome

Sometimes solutions are easy @drjogrady.bsky.social & @ucu.org.uk Let’s sit down and talk without conditions or threats that damage everyone. It’s time to resolve this dispute. Our statement, with support from the following branch committees:

Old College picket at @edinburghuni.bsky.social this morning @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social @ucu.org.uk @ucuscotland.bsky.social #NoRedundancies #StopTheCuts #DefendEveryJob

"There can be no immunity for terrorists", says the ambassador for a terrorist state.

Frankie is looking forward to joining the @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social picket line tomorrow. He knows that #WeAreTheUniversity and wd need to #StopTheCuts and #DefendEveryJob

There is no trade-off between pay and jobs. Don't let the employers fool you otherwise. This dispute is on three things: 1.Pay uplift = at least RPI+3.5% or £2,500, on all pay points 2.Protection of national agreements on T&C's 3.A national agreement to protect jobs & subjects #WeAreTheUniversity

The upcoming ballot isn't just about pay UCU demands are around protection of jobs + Ts&Cs 1.Pay uplift = at least RPI+3.5% or £2,500, on all pay points 2.Protection of national agreements on T&C's 3.A national agreement to protect jobs & subjects

What they said! 👇 We are stronger together (but in a 'solidarity' way, of course) - so have a coffee and a chat with colleagues & invite them to join UCU if they haven't already www.ucu.org.uk/join

There should be a joint statement from the five unions in the next day or so (which also mentions pay, jobs, and nationally agreed employment conditions). For now, here is some further detail on what our dispute is about and what we UCU members will be balloted on nationally: #WeAreTheUniversity

Hi #TUC2025 & @paulnowaktuc.bsky.social, enjoy congress! Can you reaffirm the movement's commitment to challenge disproportionate pay deductions for Action Short of Strike and upholding the democratically-voted-upon policies of a union? +have a word w our GS... uniteucu.wordpress.com/2025/09/04/u...
