last week was a massive one for NTEU members at Federation University thanks to the wonderful organising work of our Branch delegates! Union members will be meeting soon to discuss our next actions in our ongoing public campaign to save our university from mismanagement 💜💜💜

Good to see you Damien! Happy #LabourDay2024

#QNMU #LabourDay2024 💪🏼💪🏼✊🏼✊🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Catching up with Comrades is what Labour Day is all about! ✌🏼👍🏼✊🏼

The NTEU strongly endorses this joint statement from our global union federation Education International and the Global Student Forum on peaceful protests at universities.

Happy Labour Day Brisbane! Great catch up with my NTEU Comrades! Good to see Damien Cahill with us! Michael McNally

Nice to have my annual catch up with bsky user @alcolol.zone at Brisbane Labour day march! Also great to see Frank Bongiorno, Benjamin Pope, Damien Cahill and Natalie Osborne!

Great start to the Brisbane Labour Day march!

Huge investment returns and improved international $$$ prevented Vic, Qld and WA unis from plunging deeper into deficit last year, but with the investment windfalls monopolised by a handful of rich institutions, a wealth gap within the sector is widening. timeshighereducation.com/news/australia…

A great step forward - congratulations to NUS who have campaigned tirelessly to draw attention to this issue, and NTEU members who added their voice. Will make a real difference for students impacted by indexation as outlined in our student debt report.

The Global Student Forum and Education International stand in solidarity with university students and staff engaging in peaceful protests in support of the Palestinian people and against Israel’s war in Gaza, on campuses around the world.

RMIT VC on $1mio while staff are still waiting (3 years!!!!) to get a new EB with a decent pay offer!! Majority of university chiefs in Victoria earn over $1m despite budget woes | Victoria | The Guardian theguardian.com/australia-news…

On Sunday I attended the No More: National rally against gender based violence march at State Library Vic with my
Victorian Greens friends Tom Hannan, Ruth Jelley, Courtney May & Julie O’Brien.

I had just come back from a women’s conference where a male MP had gone off script 1/3

Even if you assume that the $170million was all “underpayments” someone must take responsibility.
The idea that people who lead universities only ever get rewarded & never held to account is perverse.
What is that teaching our students? What society is that building?

Looks like Universities Australia (Universities Australia ) which was once known as the Australian Vice Chancellors Committee (AVCC) is due for another name change. Might I suggest the Higher Education Millionaires Club

More 'unintentional' wages stolen from insecure workers at Swinburne. At the same time the Vice-Chancellor takes home a whopping $1.05mil salary. Does this seem fair?

Jason Clare MP it's time to stem big business' influence on our university councils.

Third-year student Cynthia tells the crowd how the #feduni cuts will affect nursing students. They’re already experiencing a lack of information about their course and severe reduction in course time, leaving them feeling unprepared for placements.
