Active ⁦USyd Casuals Network⁩ member ⁦Yaegan Doran⁩ featured on ⁦Four Corners⁩ tonight talking about precarious uni workers’ struggles. Casualised workers are exploited by uni managers who regularly fire us at will & abused by the Federal Govt who are denying us JobKeeper.

This is a political moment like no other in the University sector. Past and present casuals are encouraged to come along to this forum to hear about ways forward regarding endemic wage theft at La Trobe. Wed Oct 14th at 6pm. Register now! eventbrite.com.au/e/casuals-and-… Eventbrite

In Saturday’s Geelong Advertiser, from a Deakin University staff member. Staff don’t need mug cake and wellness tips. We need secure jobs, working conditions that don’t bleed us dry, university management that doesn’t gaslight us with calls for our “flexibility”.

Big news from Tasmania with Jacqui Lambie stating she will vote against the Morrison government's university funding cuts. The government needs 3 of 5 cross-benchers to get it through

Jacqui Lambie has made the right decision and should be congratulated. But the future of Australian universities is too important to lie in the hands of a couple of cross-benchers. We need to kill Tehan's bill permanently, and insulate higher ed from the wreckers, for good.

Brave move #StrongerTogether #union #highereducation NTEU Fightback! La Trobe Rank and File

Heard about #wagetheft from #casuals in the #university sector? It's rampant and we at #LaTrobe would like our wages back. Join us to find out about the issue, how it affects you and how you can sign up to take collective action eventbrite.com.au/e/casuals-and-…

Just. Stop. Stealing. Wages. #wagetheft

Protest at Macquarie University on the 7th of October - we’re going to keep fighting until university is free, fully publicly funded and equitable! ✊✊ #highereducation #auspol #highered

Stats are in on #WageTheft from #Casuals at #LaTrobe and it's not good... 63% of casuals were unpaid for work they performed, 49% fear repercussions for asking to be paid for all their hours, and 32% were instructed to fudge their timesheets. More to come in our full report.

BIG WIN!

If you supervise any casual staff make sure you tell them to claim 7 hours and support that claim. Excluding our casual staff from "wellness" as well as job security and basic dignity is beyond disdainful. Surely management realise how tone-deaf this is?

Seriously. Just fight.

Don't believe management. Link in with the Casuals Network if you want your wages back. Ongoing staff: Support your most precarious colleagues - don't stand for stealing their wages.

A strong union is one that fosters open debate and democratic processes. USyd Casuals Network stand in solidarity with members of the Murdoch branch of the NTEU and condemn attempts to silence dissent and suppress democracy in our union. Sign the petition here: docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSfa…

Alison Atkinson-Phillips Sarah Sophie Clark It is a good question. Just devastating, particularly after the sacrifices that staff have already made. We know a lot of good unionists in that branch who are organising resistance on many fronts, such as La Trobe Rank and File, who would welcome all the support they can get ✊

Bendigo Advertiser I’m hoping to see my MPs speak up loudly about cuts to #HigherEducation provision by La Trobe University in regional Victoria Maree Edwards MP Jacinta Allan NTEU Victoria La Trobe Rank and File Regional education matters. In person. In real time. Face to face.

Fight back on cuts to the already illegal marking practices at La Trobe!

so apparently melb uni is now hiring people on 'periodic' appointments, which just means they don't have to pay them over the christmas shutdown period. it's unacceptable, it's a different form of casualisation, and we can't allow it to become the future of academic employment

@jewonthis Classic technique- end contract 30/11 & reemploy March. AEU fought this in education- so must NTEU AEU NTEU Victoria
