The actions of Macquarie Uni are deplorable. They have also been dragged in front of Fair Work. The @nteunion.bsky.social uncovered they decided to go “all the way” in forcing 65 highly skilled ppl out of work when they could have achieved their objectives without this pain.

Thanks to NTEU members at MQ who spoke out about the harm of workplace changes to staff mental health and wellbeing.

Gerry Harvey was just asked if workers sould benefit from productivity gains by moving towards a four-day week.
His response: — “No, no, no they need an eight-day week to lift productivity”.
A reminder: Australians work some of the longest hours in the OECD.

“The government can’t legislate for better management but what it can do is introduce programs for management & enterprise improvement to build the innovative capability of companies” My take on #management practice & #productivity debate www.afr.com/work-and-car... @sallymcmanus.bsky.social

Bosses blast union productivity comments as ‘a distraction’

Employers have roasted ACTU chief Sally McManus over her statement that poor management is driving poor productivity, describing it as “misguided” and “wrong”.

It would be nice if it were true. Employers DO NOT automatically transfer extra money they get from higher productivity to workers. In fact they have been keeping most of it for decades now.

This is absolutely happening across the country. Polling stations in marginal seats are being swamped by “Liberal volunteers” who are members of the Exclusive Brethren cult. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Exclusive Brethren are secretly campaigning for Coalition

The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church don’t vote but are sending hundreds of their people to hand out how-to-vote cards.
