In case you missed it.... Secure Jobs & Safe Workloads – National Week of Action NTEU is planning a National Week of Action, from 13-17 September, in support of secure jobs and safe workloads. The week will feature activities designed to send a clear message to VCs to fix these issues during bargaining for pay and conditions. High levels of casualisation and fixed term contracts – at the same time as VCs cut jobs – is contributing to unsafe workloads in the sector. This is making it harder for members to deliver high quality education and research. Come along to a live or online event to send a message to your management that enough is enough: Secure Jobs and Safe Workloads NOW!
