Nothing short of vandalism to our university by senior management.
These jobs can be saved!
GCU staff will rally tomorrow at 11:30 to demand that university management scrap plans to make 100 staff redundant!
Students, please come along tomorrow to stand in solidarity with our staff and protect our university!
We’ll see you there!

Lovely afternoon meeting Audrey the Convener of the Scottish Criminal Justice Committee yesterday, to discuss the committee’s work, SYP's Justice Committee priorities, and which upcoming issues could most benefit from youth perspectives. Appreciate the opportunity!
The Convener @Audrey4ASNK was delighted to meet Jack Anderson (Justice Committee Convener) and Dylan Welsh (Justice Committee Deputy Convener) from @OfficialSYP to discuss anti-social behaviour policies and other criminal justice issues.
A wholesome two weeks on the Trek team at the 39th Blair Atholl Jamborette! @BAJamborette – at Blair Atholl, Scotland

I had a lovely few days at the #SYP81 sitting in Stirling this weekend. I heard from many great speakers and attended the first in-person meeting of the Justice Committee! The event's highlight was passing a motion supporting a right to an outdoor educational experience! – at Stirling, Scotland
Had a nice few days out training with @UsdawScotland on their Shop Stewards course! We covered everything from equality legislation and discrimination to effectively mapping workplace issues. Looking forward to the third and final course next month! #JoinAUnion
Absolute pleasure to host our first ever training course in our new office in Rutherglen this week. This group continued their Shop Steward training with @Craigmiller1986 If you would like to join them, you can find out more about the rewarding role at usdaw.org.uk/Members/Become-…
I had the opportunity to attend the @The_TUC's Young Workers Conference in London this weekend as a delegate for @UsdawUnion.

Headed down to London earlier this week for @MP_FossilFree's campaign launch event. The fantastic campaign aims to restore parliamentary independence by removing the fossil fuels industrie's access to and influence over MPs #FossilFreePolitics
Took part in a fantastic and rather unique action a few months ago for @UKDivest's Day of Divestment, here's a short video from the day! m.youtube.com/watch?v=kiVHWb…
We can't allow polluters to regulate themselves. We must demand more transparency and regulation of the industry's access to our decision-makers. Policies should protect people and not profit! #FossilFreePolitics #FossilFreeParliament
Burning fossil fuels is the major driver of climate breakdown yet the arsonists are being asked how to put out the fire.
Almost once a week for 4 years, oil lobbyists met with @scotgov Ministers to put forward their companies' interests.

For @UKDivest's National Day of Action @DivestLothian and @foeFalkirk had a joint action featuring a performance outside the city chambers illustrating the unhealthy relationship between pension schemes and the fossil fuel industry! #DivestFromCrisis

The #BetterWithoutBarclays demonstration today in Glasgow calling out the bank for investing in climate wrecking companies and demanding they change!
I briefly featured in BBC Scotland's new 'Can we still save the planet?' talking about the impact of fossil fuels. It was a lovely opportunity to meet a brilliant group of young climate campaigners from across Scotland! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001f2s…
