Fighting for the rights of staff at the University of Dundee
Welcome to the website of the Dundee University and College University (DUCU) branch at the University of Dundee. Here you’ll find information on our current activities, including our dispute with the University and our efforts to save jobs.
July 2025 – All previous redundancy notices (Section 188) removed
The University has confirmed that the section 188 letter issued in March 2025 has been formally withdrawn! This is a direct result of the industrial action we took and the action we threatened.
This is our victory! It means that, in the short term, there will not be compulsory redundancies related to the recovery plan.
By the 17th July 2025, redundancies at the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science and Educational Assistive Technology have also concluded, with the threat of redundancies being removed from all staff in those areas. The removal of all existing Section 188 notices is a victory for campus unions and a testament to the power of collective action.
