Serious question: Is society better off with strikes, or without them? Australia is now a society without strikes; it is bipartisan policy that a government body must decide whether workers can withdraw their labour, and it’s virtually impossible to do it. Employers can always withhold their money, but workers cannot withhold their work unless some government employees say they can, which means there can never be balanced negotiations. thenewdaily.com.au/finance/work/2…

Want to know more about @sophielamond's 37 contracts with @UniMelb since 2017? Here's a short interview. Except for @UniMelbMDHS, every faculty Sophie worked for was restructured so many times that "It's hard to keep track of which departments I've worked for." #UnimelbStrikes

Good morning! If you’re wondering where to go this AM: 10am: teach in by @SaraMeger on gendered exploitation in the university 11am: ‘we will rest’ session with @ThatErinBuckley - bring blankets! + pickets at @MelbLawSchool, 757 Swanston & Baillieu Library 🤩 #UnimelbStrikes

This week I am joining NTEU member colleagues at Melbourne Law School in a one week strike because key issues important to us are yet to be resolved in enterprise bargaining with the University, including secure jobs and fair workloads @NTEUUniMelb unimelbebanow.com

Too often employers build empires on the back of worker exploitation. It's a sad indictment… ⁦@adele_ferguson⁩ in ⁦@theage⁩ #wagetheft

#UnimelbStrikes You may have read in the news (if you’re Australian) that staff at the University of Melbourne are going on strike next week. I am one of those people. Here’s a personal account of why I am doing so. I want us to work together, collegially. whatkatydid.net/p/stricken-uni…

📢📢📢 In addition to the University-wide strike on 28 August, @MelbLawSchool & @ArtsUnimelb voted to take an unprecedented weeklong stop work action from the 28th. More @UniMelb work areas will be voting to join in the coming days. #UnimelbStrikes youtu.be/02SsLFs-NFQ

Much looking forward to hosting this event at @MelbLawSchool on 15 August with our guest, Dr Don Russell, chair of @AustralianSuper and one of the best thinkers on super policy we have. linkedin.com/posts/emily-mi…
