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

I welcome this from the minister, but the unwillingness of uni governing bodies and senior officials to do the right thing is proven. A major shift is needed and it starts with dismantling the assumption that people at the top will do the right thing. ministers.education.gov.au/clare/improv...

Striking is a last resort.
But when a millionaire VC gets a 5.8% pay rise, and then staff doing the front-line work to achieve ACU's mission get offered 2.5%, staff should be congratulated for standing up for themselves and their university. ✊
