If you missed Friday's online briefing on uni governance reform you can watch the recording: zoom.us/clips/share/-P… Lots to report: Victoria's new inquiry, plus many more moves towards genuine reform of the way our universities operate. nteu.au/News_Articles/… #HigherEducation

Today in Newcastle! Classes cancelled this afternoon as NTEU members walk off the job at 1pm for secure jobs, workload relief and fair pay #UoNstrike

“This is a cynical tactic. The University of Newcastle has shown it would rather blow up negotiations and push disputes to the commission than engage constructively with staff seeking fair pay and conditions.” -NTEU General Secretary, Dr Damien Cahill @NTEUNSW @DamienCahill8

A very wet march by @NTEUNSW members from @Sydney_Uni to UTS and then on to the Defence Department, calling for sanctions on Israel and an end to the arms trade. Great to see union backing for this.

BREAKING: SafeWork NSW has made an historic intervention to force UTS management to pause their dangerous program of cuts. This would not have happened without NTEU members standing together to fight these unjustified attacks. Read more: theguardian.com/australia-news… @caitecassidy

This rare intervention by Safework shows just how destructive the proposed job cuts are at UTS and why they must be shelved. ⁦@NTEUnion⁩ ⁦@NTEUNSW⁩ theguardian.com/australia-news…

At the @NTEUNSW demonstration outside the AFR/NOUS Higher Education Summit where megabuck Vice-Chancellors come to hobnob with consultants and plan the next round of cuts. No job cuts, public education for the public good, now.

UoN management want to cry poor to justify cutting jobs while sitting on a $61.3 million surplus. NTEU members want a sustainable future for higher education in Newcastle, but that does not come at the expense of hardworking staff. Staff are the uni. nteu.info/ourunisourfutu…

“Universities in Australia seem to be on a real ‘surplus at all costs’ approach. It worries me for the sector.” - UoN Branch President Terry Summers
