Thank you to Hannah who visited our picket line this morning and then went home to recreate it in Lego! We can see plenty of pink UCU @ucu.org.uk hats outside our Tower Building. The famous Bob the dog and Sarah. And the magical frog spirit of solidarity. Can you spot yourself?!

A Lego tower building sits on a large red Lego square. Lego figures including Darth Vader playing guitar, a frog sat on a pig and various characters wearing pink headwear are seen protesting at the bottom of the building

Our member Jon will be on strike next week because he doesn’t want to lose any more colleagues “Over 600 colleagues have left the University recently. But it’s not just about the numbers. It’s about the friendly, dedicated people who are no longer here to research, teach and support others” #SaveHE

In August, in a meeting with the Scottish Gov, Nigel Seaton stated that it was “necessary to be clear with staff what redundancies would likely be needed now.” The University Recovery Plan he drafted stated there would need to be 340 redundancies. Yesterday he told staff there are no plans.

A great point made at the Scottish Parliament Committee. Without a growth mindset the University of Dundee will be caught in a vicious cycle of continuing job cuts, losing over 100+ jobs every year due to inflationary pressures. Why did UEG focus on a major restructuring that will not save money?

Never forget that our interim Principal wrote a “recovery plan” that called for the loss of 390 more jobs. And that despite that plan be rejected by the SFC, he went to the Scottish Parliament last October to say his plans remain unchanged.

The current situation at the University of Dundee is that we are not getting our annual pay increase and that promotion processes are paused. At the same time the uni is refusing to rule out compulsory redundancies, it is advertising over 20 new senior management jobs for academic staff.

With Court agendas missing, minutes published late and papers non-existent, it’s our view that the important governance meetings at the University of Dundee should be live streamed and recorded, for openness and transparency.
