🚨 Scottish Government bans public grants going to Israel's arms dealers! I'm glad the First Minister has accepted this proposal from Green MSPs, but congratulations must go to @scotnational.bsky.social, Scotland's Palestinian community, GGEC and otherss for fighting so hard to make it happen.

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Our employer’s decision to end UCU’s co-ordinated efforts against casualisation has added significance given they’ve also dismantled the post leading the PGRs as Staff campaign. It is, however, consistent with an attitude which embraces the increased use of fixed-term and zero hours contracts.

Solidarity with Higher Education members; you deserve the full backing of our union.✊

Andrea Egan for General Secretary

UNISON members in Higher Education are facing cuts, redundancies, and a massive real term pay cut because our universities are not being funded properly.

I stand in solidarity with our members and branches who are fighting back.

I support their call for full funding for our universities and an end to tuition fees.

Vote to REJECT the 1.4% pay offer and ballot for strike action.

Solidarity!

Our employer is editing our members’ out-of-office replies to remove reference to our strike action. They are choosing to censor us rather than talk to us.

Unite UCU’s suggested out-of-office wording for strike days overlaid with a ‘CENSORED by our trade union employer ’ stamp.

“What out-of-office message should we use on strike days?
We suggest all members use the following wording on strike days:
I am not currently at work due to taking part in escalating strike action called by Unite, the trade union for UCU staff, over our Campaign for a Safe and Professional Workplace Culture.”

ON STRIKE

Absolutely shocking news coming out of Dundee today. Sending solidarity to the UCU staff on strike there, and the UNISON Branch which is going to be dealing with over 400 support staff facing redundancy. Time to get angry and get 👏🏻 ORGANISED 👏🏻 - this sector is falling apart! @unison.org.uk

Unbelievable. With a ban on fire & rehire on the way it's an absolute insult for Aberdeen City Council to not rule out this cruel practice.

A screenshot of a digital news article. The headline reads "'Gaslighting' council chiefs refuse to rule out firing and rehiring Aberdeen workers - who are 'already turning to foodbanks'". The byline reads "The debate came to a head at today's council meeting" The image below shows Council employees waving flags at a protest in Aberdeen, holding flags with Union logos on them including Unite and Unison.

🟢 Why the Scottish Green Party? 🟢 My latest for Green Left Scotland covers why the @scottishgreens.org are the only realistic electoral vehicle for the left at the moment. Co-published with @heckle.scot, I also lay out why - as a socialist - I've been a long-time member.

Why the Scottish Green Party? Can the Scottish Greens be a serious socialist force in Scottish politics? Green Left Scotland is hopeful.

Today, at 29 years of age, I voted for the first time in a German election. I never thought it was worth the hassle given I no longer live there. Until I saw the fascist AfD placed second in the polls, and the so-called "Christian" Democrats relying on their votes in the Bundestag.

Appalling to see an SNP-Lib Dem council turn itself into P&O Ferries. Fire and rehire is a despicable tactic. I won't be voting for either of these lot in 2027 and I sure hope no one else does either.

pressandjournal.co.uk

Exclusive: Aberdeen council staff could be told 'accept reduced hours and pay freeze or be fired'

Council chiefs are yet to rule out "fire and rehire" tactics after months of bargaining talks with the unions broke down.
