Great to get the opportunity today for NTEU members to talk to David Pocock about the Australian Universities Accord.

The Accord process needs to deliver stable and secure funding to ensure better jobs, better workloads, better access and better governance. ✊

The Jewish Council of Australia strongly supports the Australian Unions statement calling for an end to military ties with Israel, targeted sanctions, a permanent ceasfire and increased humanitarian aid.

As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

The share of national income going to the richest 10% was lowest (and share to the bottom 90% highest) when union membership was high.

This is why the UAW victory in Tennessee is a big deal.

We must build back union power.

It’s shameful; and to think 7500 staff were possibly underpaid? Who’s next in line? University governance structures are broken to the core. Reform is needed now Jason Clare MP.

James Cook University is the latest addition to the wage theft epidemic at our universities, which now totals over $170 million in theft.

In December, Labor introduced new laws to make deliberate wage theft a criminal offence, and made it easier for casuals to convert to

'Unions getting in the way of market dynamics' ie
- Exposing Swissport forcing workers to sleep at the airport in between gruelling split shifts
- Taking Qantas to court for 1700 illegal sackings

Workers will always stand up against corporate bullies like Qantas and Swissport.

BREAKING 🚨 | Managers in Britain's workplaces overwhelmingly support Labour’s New Deal policies, new polling from the CMI reveals.

- 82% said granting workers fundamental day one rights was important.

Thanks to union members who campaigned for and helped win the Closing Loopholes Bill, workplace delegates now have more rights so they can better support workers.

The continued revelations of wage theft at universities across Australia demonstrate the urgent need for reforms to ensure good university governance.

Most surreal photos you'll ever see - thread 🧵

Corporate power vs. union power

In the next few months, the Fair Work Commission will decide what the minimum wage should be from July 1. Union members are demanding a 5% increase to help workers keep up with the cost of living.

The NTEU fully supports this statement. Our union is proud to be part of a movement for peace.

From teachers and tradies, to ambos and aged care workers – every taxpayer will get a tax cut from July 1.

We are witnessing a historic rebirth of union power, and I couldn't be happier to see it.

Casual reminder to Ignore the anti-union propaganda from corporate America.

If unions were actually bad for workers, corporations wouldn't need to spend millions of dollars on union-busting.
