I’ve lodged this motion in Parliament in solidarity with UCU members at Dundee University. I’m clear that compulsory redundancies are not the answer. Staff shouldn’t be expected to pay the price for financial failures at their university by losing their jobs. 1/2

Maggie Chapman MSP’s motion lodged in the Scottish Parliament expressing solidarity with UCU members at the University of Dundee, supporting their strike action and opposition to compulsory redundancies, and calling for secure jobs, fair working conditions and a strong workers’ voice.

Amazing turnout for our joint rally with @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social at Holyrood.

Thank you to all of the MSPs from the Greens, Labour, Lib Dem’s and SNP.

Thanks to @ucuscotland.bsky.social @ucu.org.uk for supporting all of our efforts to stop cuts to universities across the country.

No more cuts!

Day 5 of the UCU workers' strike against massive job cuts by highly remunerated senior management. “We are looking at hundreds of job losses, dozens of course closures ... Without even mentioning the removal of opportunities for people up and down Scotland." Jo Grady, UCU President, 01.10.2026

"You are the reason we do."

Jo Grady to the students who joined staff outside the Scottish Parliament. Managers want to use you in this fight. You refused.

Raucous, joyouse scenes at the demo of the UCU workers and students of Dundee and Edinburgh University, protesting the cuts to thousands of jobs: "Management has already pushed through hundreds of hidden redundancies, with some classes doubling in size over the past couple of years as a result."

Day 4 of the UCU workers' strike against massive job cuts. “Senior management can stop this strike by prioritizing cuts to non-staff budgets and stopping redundancies that are decimating our university, while leaving those who remain with an unmanageable workload & exhaustion." UCUE co-president

£140m in cuts. Up to 1,800 jobs at risk. 93 programmes set to go. UCU members at the University of Edinburgh begin five weeks of strike action today. We back our branch. We need you to do the same. Education belongs to all of us.
