Wage theft has become ingrained in the Australian university sector, which is why reform is needed.
This victory belongs to the professional staff at QUT who felt the destructive consequences of wage theft.

Tuesday’s Stop Work at UTS made our power impossible to ignore.
Because UTS members took action, the VC has already scaled back parts of his cuts and backed away from some of his extreme proposals.
But big problems remain.

Well done to Griffith University members on endorsing their Log of Claims online! ✊
Hundreds of staff have come together and pledged to win secure jobs, fair pay, and safe workloads through collective action. Staff need a pay rise that helps them catch up.

Congratulations to members at Curtin University for standing up and taking strike action today for safe workloads, job security and fair pay.
The university is nothing without the workforce behind it, staff deserve respect and progress at the bargaining table.

We need to talk about AI.
While AI is here to stay, if kept unchecked, it can be used to increase workloads, threaten job security, and undermine academic integrity. Register here for next week's session: nteu.info/ai
