Gender Affirmation Leave. Better Universities.

Gender affirmation leave is about respect, equality, and the basic right to be yourself at work without risking your income or job security.

82% is a system failure.

The NTEU is spot on - every worker deserves access to reproductive health leave and workplace support. It's a huge help to employees and makes business sense for employers and the broader economy.

Equal Super. Better Universities.

Casual university staff teach, research, and support students, often for years, yet are denied the same superannuation contributions as their ongoing colleagues.

Fair pay. Better universities.

University staff need fair pay that keeps up with the cost of living. Food, rent, and bills haven’t stopped rising and neither should your pay. Hard work, sacrifice, and increased productivity should be recognised.

National President Alison Barnes and General Secretary Damien Cahill joined Australian Unions today to pay respects in solidarity with the Jewish community. NTEU stands firmly against violence and anti-semitism.

The NTEU stands with Jewish Australians as they grieve this devastating and targeted act of violence.

Violence, hatred and antisemitism have no place in our society. We stand in solidarity, care, and shared humanity.

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.Β 

But big problems remain.

We’ve shown what we can win. Now we keep the pressure on πŸ‘‰Β nteu.au/join

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

Management from University of Newcastle have walked away from direct negotiations with NTEU, used a manufactured financial crisis to justify 140 job cuts while ignoring crushing workloads.
