We encourage you to support them. www.gofundme.com/en-au/c/act/... Dundee UCU are opposed to all violence and harassment, and condemn all racism. The branch committee will bring a motion to our next branch meeting that will condemn the attacks and support a donation to the fundraising efforts 2/2

On 14 December, an antisemitic terror attack took place at Bondi Beach, where many lives were lost and people injured. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and everyone affected by these tragic events, particularly the Jewish community. GoFundMe has listed fundraising efforts. 1/2

Glad to be able to pop by the @ducuuo.bsky.social picket line as they were just getting set up this morning. Staff are on strike in the cold & damp to say NO to compulsory redundancies. Management must engage with staff properly: co-design a recovery plan, do not impose cuts! #Solidarity

Our rally yesterday was emotional and showed the toll it has taken on our branch and colleagues. Today is the final day of our current strike. Come and support us by visiting the picket line, as we fight for all jobs at the University of Dundee.

Nigel Seaton has confirmed that there will be further substantial job losses at the University of Dundee. We’ve already lost over 500 colleagues in a year. If you are academic or academic-related staff you can join Dundee UCU. We’re fighting to save jobs and improve our working conditions.

Redundancies were ruled out on three occasions by the most senior staff member at the University of Dundee. Once to STV, once to staff and once in an interview with the Courier. Now they are denying they said it when in front of our elected representatives.

Vote early, vote now in the UCU national ballot. Talk to your friends in the union and encourage them to vote to stop real terms cuts to our wages. #WeAreTheUniversity #SaveHE #StopTheCuts

Incredibly sad

I am really proud to be part of a union that is standing up for all colleagues and their jobs. Our members are really special and we thank them for voting again and winning the ability to choose to take industrial action, if it comes to that.

In April, the University of Dundee commissioned a report by AAB on financial accounting during the financial crisis. It found that draft versions of management accounts were altered before they reached UEG. In one case the report cannot explain why the reported cash position improved by £20.9M.

It is difficult to trust people in power when there is very strong evidence that they’ve not been telling the truth.

Fantastic show! Loved every minute of it. Don’t miss out

It’s not surprising that when you drive one type of bigotry it means you can’t call out other types correctly. “Ms Forstater admits racist comments, revealed by The Courier, were “ill-judged”” “Ms Cherry said racist posts shared by Ms Peggie mocking flood victims in Pakistan were “distasteful””

Our redundancies will not now go ahead. Thanks to all who gave us their support and solidarity. @ducuuo.bsky.social will fight and will win no compulsory redundancies for staff who are not at fault for the financial collapse of the University.

Very unreliable evidence from Prof Iain Gillespie. Here he states “Then there were a number of shocks that hit us as we moved in to academic year 2024/25. The first was RAAC”. According to the University’s own website RAAC was identified in buildings in April 2023. www.dundee.ac.uk/guides/build...

If you can’t remember that your behaviour led to a colleague you managed leaving and in their own words “completely broken” and you can’t remember the incident, you’re a lying sociopath. “NERC or at Leicester? Regarding me? I don’t remember any such instances.”

No shock The bully thriving at @dundeeuni was already wreaking havoc at @uniofleicester UK universities aren't just broken — they're built on corruption & abuse Wicked Human Resources depts enforce the malpractice & mismanagement

REDUNDANCIES PROCESS CONTINUES This is a follow up to our post on Tuesday regarding the interim-Principal stating "There won't be any redundancies" in an STV interview Prof Seaton has clarified his remarks by stating that he meant "There will be no redundancies related to the recovery plan". 1/3

It is terrifying that such successful female research professors can be targeted for redundancy by the University. If they can be targeted, we all can.

Redundancies at the University of Dundee have just been ruled out! Thank you to Prof Nigel Seaton our interim Principal for confirming this and for STV for sharing this with the world!

So very proud to be part of this industrial action to rule out compulsory redundancies at the University of Dundee. Only when I’m on the picket line do I receive the strength to continue. So thank you to everyone who visited the picket, honked their horns in support and showed that they cared.

Looks AMAZING!

On last night’s news , Prof Angela Daly, outlines the areas being targeted by the University of Dundee. And covers their amazing work and support they have received Angela is one of the 100% of female research professors targeted for redundancy by management in our School of Science and Engineering

This feels very, very wrong. All female research in professors in our School of Science and Engineering are currently being targeted for redundancy. Not a single male professor is being targeted. #Equality #EDI

The sun is out, the sky is blue and it’s Day 2 of our industrial action. Can you make it along to support our picket line at the front of the Tower Building this morning?

It was a great pleasure for us both to visit the University of Dundee Student Services team this afternoon - along with other local elected representatives - and see the great work it undertakes We are most grateful for such an informative and interesting visit. #dundeewestend

Solidarity to our colleagues at the University of Dundee UNITE branch @dundeeuniunite.bsky.social who have secured a mandate for strike action. All three campus unions at Dundee University have now voted overwhelmingly for industrial action. #SaveDundeeUni #SaveHE www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thanks to the Scottish Government for sticking up for workers at the University of Dundee. Reducing the number of job losses is critical for the University and the city.

NEW: SNP minsters were said to be "volcanic" after Dundee University confirmed up to 700 people could lose their jobs in a letter on Monday. Source: “The one thing we know about the current job loss figures is that won’t be the level of job losses." www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/...

🎙️"We see this as a strike for students and on behalf of students as well." - Nick Grant, UEA UCU co-chair, speaking to BBC Radio Norfolk. 🚩University management cannot cut staff, jettisoning expertise and services in the process, without damaging the student experience. #SaveUEA #UKHE

An Alternative Recovery Plan. Join all three campus unions today at the University of Dundee for an all staff meeting. Everyone welcome. Have your say. Thursday 27 March 2025 1-2pm Dalhousie Building, LT3

Murray has worked and studied at the University of Dundee for 40 years. The proposed job cuts are heartbreaking for him.

We often hear from the executive team on the “recovery plan” and job cuts. Now hear directly from the staff themselves. Amplify their voice. Like, share and tag. #WeAreThe632 @ucu.org.uk @maggiechapman.bsky.social @joefitzsnp.bsky.social @valmcdermid.bsky.social @shonarobison.bsky.social
