Speak Oot

05/09/2026

With the deeply worrying news coming from Dundee University, it is more important than ever that we stand together to stop these cuts.

No to compulsory redundancies. And no to jobs simply disappearing and workloads being pushed onto fewer people.

Dundee University is its staff and students. We cannot allow them to pay the price for this crisis.

Join the Stop the Cuts rally at Bonar Hall on Tuesday 8 September, 12.30pm.

📢 Unions at the University of Dundee warn that more than 1,000 staff will have been driven out once this redundancy round is done.

This is a deliberate act of vandalism against our city and one of its key institutions — a choice to hollow out our university, its workforce, and its future.

Join us and demand management stop the cuts. ✊

Management’s decisions are stripping back courses, eroding campus support services, and decimating a core institution of our city.

📢 Speak Oot — First Ever Conference Wrapped

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us at the first ever Speak Oot Conference this past weekend.

Together, we dug into the key issues facing our city — from community wellbeing to democratic participation — and set out the conversations and actions Dundee needs to push forward.

Huge appreciation to our guest speakers on the day: Maggie Chapman, Cllr Siobhan Tolland, Cllr Dorothy McHugh, Jenny Douglas & Neica McLorinan from Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) and Ceilidh from Living Rent Dundee

The key theme leaving the conference was clear: Dundee Demands Better. And it’s on all of us to carry that message, build momentum, and keep speaking oot until the city gets the change it so desperately needs.
