Professional staff keep University of Sydney running yet management continue with ruthless restructures and are offering a pay offer lower than what we’ve won at WSU, ACU and UTAS. Staff are the university! #USydStrike

Hmmm ... As casual academic at University of Newcastle, I have to say I feel I've been kicked to the curb by management that proposes wage increases funded by keeping casual super rates at 10% while everyone else gets 17%. #comparethepair #nteu #betterunis #whynotboth

#SOLIDARITY UoN NTEU members have voted to strike tomorrow, as the university attempts to derail negotiations through Fair Work. Despite profiting hundreds of millions, UoN continues to dig their heels and refuse workers job security and a fair cost of living pay increase.

I recorded this a couple of days ago after reading 💧 James Ladwig’s “Why I will be striking”. This is why I’ll be at the #UONStrike tomorrow. Join us and show University management that #WeAreUON.

Last tweet of the night. If you can't make it to the #UONStrike tomorrow, please send this letter to Council Members at the University of Newcastle. The University Council is where big decisions are made. They need to hear that #WeAreUON. nteu.au/News_Articles/…

A pay rise for losing $34.6m? Workplace discrimination at work. University of Newcastle professional and academic staff have not had a pay rise since Sep 2021 (and then it was 2%, not the VC's 8.4% for 2022).

You can't make this up. University of Newcastle mgmt lifts the VC's pay close to $1mil while seemingly employing tactics to reduce pay and conditions of staff who keep the uni running. This is why NTEU members are on strike TODAY 10.30am Civic Park. #UONstrike #WeAreUON
