Corporatised uni management and lack of adequate public funding = crushing workloads for uni staff. NTEU members are campaigning for safe and healthy workloads - and we are starting to win. ✊✊✊💜💜💜

Chinese EVs are in a phase of massive international expansion which is reshaping globalisation itself. In my new piece for Phenomenal World, I dig into BYD’s international rise and what it means for the future of the international economy. phenomenalworld.org/analysis/globa…

Inspiring to see Curtin NTEU delegates committing to two days of training to discuss representative’s rights, building worker power, and making the University sector safe and fair for all staff and students.

Great list. The follow up is also key; so easy to move from one crisis to another or one opportunity to another without following up with people—especially people who seemed on the fence or lukewarm about taking action.

Yesterday marked a huge win for WA Child Protection workers! The Child Protection CSA Agreement 2024 was agreed to in the WAIRC; securing qualification allowances, better pay & conditions that will take effect from June 11, 2025. Years of action made this happen—Congratulations!

Combien de temps un ouvrier médiéval travaillait-il, par jour, par semaine, par an ? Comment s'organisait une journée de travail ? Un document fascinant de la cathédrale de Rouen permet de répondre à ces questions. Un thread ⬇️ !

"It’s that classic marketing ploy: convince people they have a problem they didn’t know they had and then give them a solution." Renew ANU is damaging our national university. NTEU says ourANU should immediately halt Renew ANU. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/education…

It’s never been more critical to fight for fairer university funding. The minister’s pledge to roll out a new system is a positive step, now we need all NTEU members to join our campaign in this future-defining moment.

Disappointing to see this 'puff piece' in Canberra Times. 🤢 ourANU are currently pursuing the VC's job cuts in ITS, ISO, PSP and will likely announce job cuts in CASS, CoSM & DVC(RI) this week. If you're cutting jobs, you're not the victim. NTEU canberratimes.com.au/story/9002779/…
