Great stuff from BP Steve McCabe at MIT: Anything worth having needs paying for. This includes tertiary education. Without it, we’d have no nurses, no doctors, no teachers, no builders… none of the professionals we need to keep the country functioning. teu.ac.nz/news/we-need-t…

Today was our national women's hui in Pōneke | Wellington - a wonderful space to talk about fosterering collegial, inclusive, and equitable workplaces.

Officials want even more job cuts at Te Pūkenga, briefing shows rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

PICKET THE TERTIARY EDUCATION COMMISSION. 0815 Fri, 44 The Terrace. The TEC want jobs gone and courses cut at VUW - they are pushing austerity on our university. They should see the faces of the students and staff this will hurt. No job cuts! Fund tertiary education! #SaveVUW

It's ironic, don't you think? More cuts, when we've already paid. Bad advice, that a Minister takes. And they're called the Tertiary Education Commission.

Wellington folks - don’t let the butchers bully our sector into the ground! Picket tomorrow, 8:15am, 44 The Terrace

Thank you Gina Dao-McLay, Green candidate for Mana, for speaking out clearly against job cuts at VUW and the govt decisions pushing cuts. They have been a consistent voice for us in politics. We welcome all open political comment and will share candidates' views. Gina Dao-McLay

Good to have this explained in simple terms and might help to contrast it with the voting ballots available to some property(ies) owners in local govt elections. 1news.co.nz/2023/08/31/no-…

Education Minister Jan Tinetti has been ignoring our union branch requests for communication for weeks. We know now that amidst the fightback against cuts, while Chris Hipkins talked autonomy, TEC told Tinetti to destroy more jobs.Rachel Brooking (she/her) @IngridLeary make this make sense

Officials are wrong. This will only serve to slash tertiary education further. We can’t let this happen.

The Tertiary Endtimes Commission is an undemocratic body that has had far too much power for far too long, and it’s high time they stopped pretending that they’re not part of the problem. Time to change the script.

We were on the picket lines with @ASMSNZ today - awhi atu, awhi mai. Solidarity forever!

Hey, RNZ — you really buried the lede here. “Apparently due to a lack of tutors” is why apprenticeships are getting completed. And we have a lack of tutors because the employer won’t pay enough to attract staff. It’s *not* the tutors’ fault. rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

It's day 2 of our annual BP hui in Pōneke | Wellington. It's been a stimulating morning talking politics.

What a good-looking bunch the Tertiary Education Union branch presidents are…

Would likely do a better job than many CEs…

Why won’t employers value the workers who do the core activities of their businesses? The Waikato Uni branch have the full support of the MIT branch of Te Hautū Kahuranhgi. Kia haha, comrades!

TEU members at six universities came together in force at paid union meetings yesterday, and called for a strike vote. They're fed up with low pay offers and they don't want any of their colleagues paid below the Living Wage. teu.ac.nz/news/six-unive…

Increasingly difficult to take the minister seriously. She’s clearly, and disingenuously, painting the worst possible picture of Te Pūkenga in order to justify the vandalism she’s inflicting on it. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/is…
