“There is something management can do. Come to the bargaining table. The wildest thing is that it’s in their interest. “They are going to lose these people. There isn’t an indispensable supply of us. We are very valuable resources.” #Unime

“We love this university, and we love what we do. We want to be able to support our students but we’re prevented from doing our jobs properly.” ➡️ Understaffing = unacceptable delays in students getting help — Stop 1 staff telling why they’re on strike #unimelbstrikes #solidarity

It was an absolute privilege to address striking members of ⁦NTEU Victoria⁩ at Melbourne Uni together with students supporting them. It’s tim to end the illegal university business model of casualisation & wage theft.

Final day of the current week-long #UnimelbStrikes and we’re still on the soft picket in front of the law school - come chat to us! We have music, dogs, pancakes and Sean Cooney is getting the message out in Mandarin: “The Law School is striking to protect teaching and research”

Day 1 of the intensive bargaining we won through #UnimelbStrikes, University of Melbourne already failed the one thing they promised to do - to have a proposal on Job Security. They've had years to work on this! Walking out of was the right thing to do. They need to treat us seriously
