Yesterday we submitted our consultation on the Scottish Government's 'Housing to 2040' Plan. Our campaign work comes from our casework, our members decide our agenda. There is power in a union. #SolidarityWorks #RentsDownRightsUp

An article I wrote for the people over at The Magdalen Magazine about the future of our education, UCU strikes, the school merger and more. DUSA's indecisiveness is taking the stance of the oppressor. Read it here ✊

SUCCESS ✊ We helped our members C & J to negotiate a rent reduction worth £150pcm after their flat in Dundee was infested with rats and dodgy electrics. This will remain until the issues are resolved conclusively, and we will support them until they get justice. #SolidarityWorks

When we said direct action, we meant it. We have occupied the fourth floor of the Tower Building in defence of the UCU strike.

We will remain here for 24 hours or until demands are met. Their teaching conditions are our learning conditions. #OneOfUsAllOfUs
