Intervention from @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk on cuts and job losses at Edinburgh university as @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social UCU take three days of strike action this week to save jobs. Strike rally at the Scottish Parliament tomorrow, Wed, at 1pm #SaveHE #StopTheCuts #NoCompulsoryRedundancies
Edinburgh University is facing financial trouble, and the UCU said as many as 1,800 jobs could be at risk.

Our universities are built on the hard work of their staff, and we lose them at our peril.

That's why I raised this issue with the Minister for Higher Education today.

Today we have called a "Lobby Day".

UoE's ongoing cuts could lead to up to 1800 compulsory redundancies in addition to the damage already being done. Our political representatives should be addressing this crisis.

Flood MSPs' offices with calls!

How do we win? One conversation at a time. Every reminder, every nudge, every chat with a colleague adds up. The small things, done together, make the difference.
