University news: sackings, industrial action
There is a lot going on in Victoria’s higher education sector. Some of the largest ever mass-redundancies in Australian university history, as well as a growing mood for industrial action over university administration refusals to seriously collectively bargain.
Deakin
Staff at Deakin University want a new collective agreement. The NTEU has produced a video explaining what is at stake and why staff need to join the union.

Victoria University
Victoria University Vice-Chancellor announced on 17 October the largest ever mass-redundancy in Australian university history.
The NTEU is running a campaign to protest the redundancies and make the university return to the bargaining table. Like Deakin, VU senior management have refused to seriously bargain.
