Following or reposting definitely doesn't always equate to endorsing. Sometimes it is just morbid curiosity. Views all my own.

It's important not to normalise spreading germs around. If someone is ill with respiratory symptoms encourage them to self-isolate and not attend in person any work or social events (if they can afford it)... or at the very least wear a mask. Haven't we learnt anything from the pandemic?

Thanks again for all your support @maggiechapman.bsky.social ✊🏽
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!

The Interim Principal clearly said on STV News there would be no redundancies. Now he is trying to make hundreds of us redundant. Was that misleading people? Was it lying? Total ineptitude?
Whatever it is, staff and students have no trust in this ‘leadership’.

Do you think staff at the University of Dundee were misled when we were told there would be no redundancies? Or when he told us they hadn’t said there would be no redundancies?

Solidarity to all of Dundee’s workers as they strike in the face of some of most caricaturishly mismanagement this sector has seen to date (although god knows the competition is heating up). May this venerable institution survive and thrive; victory to the strikers!
Day 1 of our 5 day strike done. Thanks to STV for coming along and interviewing members.
Come and have a chat with us at the front of the Tower any day this week.

We need to stop shipping in vastly overpaid, underperforming ‘executives’ who don’t care about OUR university or OUR city. These people (in this picture) are the people who CAN save OUR university.

More job cuts are not necessary.
@dundee.ac.uk senior management are ideologically obsessed with them.
For reasons unknown they are determined to destroy the institution and, by extension, the city of Dundee.

If you missed it, here’s the interim Principal talking about substantial future job cuts at University of Dundee.
He refers to the number of job losses recommended in the recovery plan. This is 390FTE with 340FTE via redundancies.
We believe redundancies are not necessary. #SaveHE #SaveDundeeUni

We can also quote him word for word from a meeting with all staff on 1st July.
“I do want to emphasises the fact that it’s a pure voluntary severance scheme.
It will not be followed by a redundancy scheme.
There is no secret Plan B.”

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.

Sadly true. It's like the Gillies report never even happened.
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.

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.
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.
