What happened
The University of Aberdeen dismissed a long-standing union representative, Professor David Anderson, who had been employed by the university for 27 years and was a UCU union representative. Following the removal, the University and College Union (UCU) ceased negotiations with the university. UCU members are currently balloting on industrial action over job cuts and the dismissal.

Why it matters
The ongoing labor dispute and the threat of compulsory redundancies directly impact the core operations and budget of the University of Aberdeen. The UCU stated that the dismissal of the representative for carrying out trade union activities has led to a lack of engagement between the union and the university.
Dan Cutts commented on the impact on the workforce while Peter Edwards served as principal and vice-chancellor at the University of Aberdeen.
