NTEU appalled at Government restrictions on public sector workers' social media engagement
The NTEU is appalled by the Turnbull Government’s intention to impose restrictions on how public sector workers engage on social media.

NTEU Statement on the end of Recognise – and onto sovereignty and treaties
The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) notes the news today that the campaign designed to promote recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the Australian Constitution, known as Recognise, will be disbanded - after five years and several million dollars’ worth of government funding.
This decision comes after years of grassroots community campaigning on sovereignty and treaties, in addition with the recent releases of the Uluru Statement and the Referendum Council Report both of which, while limited in their scope, highlighted a wide community rejection of mere symbolic recognition.

Industrial action at JCU to continue
Members of the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) employed at James Cook University (JCU) will take further industrial action next week, following management’s failure to resolve negotiations for a new enterprise agreement for staff.

Connect vol 10 no 2 now available
The trend is fewer and fewer decent jobs, with one in two new jobs in higher education now precarious. The ACTU’s claim that 40% of jobs in Australia are now insecure is disputed by the business advocates, but there is no disputing that 40% of the higher education sector are in insecure employment. The official government data supplied from the universities says so. The FTE actual casual and limited term workforce is growing at three times the rate of the (more) secure workforce. More...
