From today all tweets from this account will be from Jeanette Findlay who assumed the Presidency on 29/5/23 for a period of two years. Solidarity to all our members currently taking part in a marking and assessment boycott or strike action.
Today I end my term of office as UCUS President. It was an honour to be elected and to serve the union I have been a member of since 1987. Thank you to members for their trust and thank you to @UCUScotland staff for all their support. If you are not in a union, join one! Sin é.

Today UCU stands in solidarity with workers around the world.
Fair pay. Secure contracts. Academic freedom.
We’re proud to continue the fight in higher and further education.
✊ Together, we are stronger.

Institute of Employment Rights/ Trade Union Coordinating Group meeting #STUC25 Eddie Dempsey @RMTunion 'The trade union movement has been ripped out of working class communities…the work that we did to campaign in working people common interests has been torn out of communities'

Discussion on Employment Rights Bill tonight- there's work to do across the trade union movement to strengthen the Bill. We need sectoral collective bargaining- and repeal of all anti trade union legislation. #SolidarityMatters

It’s a relief to see Dundee University management backtrack on 700 job cuts. They now need to take compulsory redundancies off the table #StopTheCuts #DundeeUni ucu.org.uk/article/13999/UCU…

The far right are no friend of working people.
Our governments need to buck their ideas up. They must raise the standards in our public services and in our discourse if we're to defeat the far right.

NEW: @ScottishTUC has backed calls for ‘practical’ solutions to tackle the rise of the far-right, warning the UK and Scottish governments that they are not ‘off the hook’

We agree with the First Minister @JohnSwinney that investment in our public services must be at the heart of the Scottish Government's agenda.
Resilient, well funded and world-class public services are a key driver in building our economy and eliminating poverty.
UCU Scotland President retweeted
We cannot fall into the trap of treating Reform and Nigel Farage as a convenient political bogeyman.
Doing so allows others off the hook and allows deeper, structural problems to go unchallenged.
