Wage Theft investigation leads to $2,000,000 in back pay (Advocate 26 03)

Action taken by casual academics has allowed NTEU to secure $2 million in underpayments for 83 current and former staff at the Academy of Information Technology (AIT). This is a fantastic demonstration of what can be achieved when workers work together, and with their Union, to challenge unfair and unjust employment conditions. More...

Workplace democracy under threat (Advocate 26 03)

Union democracy and workplace democracy generally have never been more important, nor under so much threat.
I recently had the interesting experience of appearing before the Senate Education and Employment Committee to present NTEU’s position on the Ensuring Integrity Bill.

May Day poster reveals union history (Advocate 26 03)

NTEU was formed in 1993 from a number of predecessor organisations. In the ACT, these included the Australian National University Staff Association (as a member of the Federated Australian University Staff Association (FAUSA)) and the ANU Administrative and Allied Officers’ Association (ANUAAOA). The latter body represented general staff of level 6 and above, and was regarded by many as a ‘bosses’ union’. Most general staff in the ACT were instead represented by the Health Services Union (HSUA, known today as the HSU), which had coverage of university staff at ANU and UC at the time. More...
