Universities are facing big challenges and the future feels uncertain for many of us.

But when staff stand together, we can make real positive changes – from pushing for accountability in university governance to improving jobs and conditions.

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.

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.

We’ve shown what we can win. Now we keep the pressure on 👉 nteu.au/join
