NTEU Blue Stocking Week morning tea at University of Canberra. Members at UC, joining colleagues from across the sector, in an important online seminar by Dr Anna Cody, Australia's Sex Discrimination Commissioner, tackling sexual harassment, sex discrimination and gender-based violence.

Proud to represent @nteunion.bsky.social members today at the AUKUS Public Inquiry. Public money should be for the public good - education, healthcare, social services and housing - not for weapons of war. ✊

In this week's wrap, Future Campus discusses @nteunion.bsky.social proposals for governance reform at #UniCanberra: "The National Tertiary Education Union has long campaigned for fewer outsiders and more staff on university councils. It is winning." More at: futurecampus.com.au/2026/08/06/t...

Well done to the @nteunion.bsky.social Bargaining Team at #UniCanberra. It's been a hard slog but we think we're there - now taking all the necessary steps to put an agreement to NTEU members for endorsement. ✊

NTEU ACT@nteuact.bsky.social · 2w ago

If you're at #UniCanberra, we've got good news! Your @nteunion.bsky.social Bargaining Team has reached an in-principle agreement with UC that we're comfortable recommending to members for endorsement. To be involved, you need to be an NTEU member. Join today at www.nteu.au/join! ✊

When #UniCanberra experienced failures of leadership, management and governance, it was UC staff who paid the price. In 2024-2025 we saw around 200 job cuts due to mismanagement. @nteunion.bsky.social wants to fix university governance, so it doesn't happen again. ✊ Thanks Laura! 🙏

NTEU ACT@nteuact.bsky.social · 3w ago

Great to meet with @lauranutallgreens.bsky.social today to discuss university governance at #UniCanberra. UC is the only university the ACT Government is responsible for. That's why @nteunion.bsky.social says we don't need another review. In the ACT, we can just get on with changing the UC Act. ✊

It's time to win a better ANU. Better wages, better conditions, better governance. After coming together for training & strategising yesterday, our @nteunion.bsky.social bargaining team at #ANU is ready to go! To win a better ANU, join NTEU at www.nteu.au/join. ✊️💜

What does the best version of #UniCanberra look like? We're asking UC staff your view on whether @nteunion.bsky.social should have a position on this, and if so, what that position should be. Take the survey at nteu.info/ucfaculty2026. ✊

Women make unions bigger, better and stronger! A huge thanks to all our union women members who made today’s NTEU women’s conference fantastic. Let’s continue our fight in making sure women’s voices shape the future of our union.

Member voices are making a difference at #UniCanberra. Yesterday, @nteunion.bsky.social made clear that members need a better agreement which addresses the issues UC staff face. Now we'll intensively bargain to achieve just that. Join NTEU at www.nteu.au/join! ✊

Proud to rock my new #APHEDA t-shirt today! @nteunion.bsky.social has long supported Union Aid Abroad - APHEDA, the global justice arm of the Australian trade union movement. Find out more and join: apheda.org.au/join/ ✊ #solidaritynotcharity

We've seen what #UniCanberra has told staff about bargaining progress, but there are some serious cuts to protections and entitlements that they're not as upfront about. Come to this @nteunion.bsky.social meeting, which is open to all UC staff, to find out more: nteu.info/uc300626

We still need to see significant change at #UniCanberra. We'll share our response to UC Leadership's package at a meeting open to all UC Staff next Tuesday at 12.30pm - register at nteu.info/uc300626 ✊ Join @nteunion.bsky.social at www.nteu.au/join.

Universities target individuals in redundancy processes. We've all seen it. They see some people as too difficult, too female, too diverse, too disabled, too outspoken, too union... Proud of @nteunion.bsky.social. Shame on #MacquarieUni. Solidarity Jo & Jumana! ✊ www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Fantastic news for @nteunion.bsky.social members at @deakinuniversity.bsky.social. Welcome relief for staff who should never have been put in the stressful situation of facing mass job cuts. ✊ End these "You think that's bad governance? Hold my beer" contests between millionaire VCs. 🍺😡

Staff at #ANU have had to be the duct tape holding everything together through various palace intrigues, and failures of leadership, governance and management. @nteunion.bsky.social members are standing up for a better ANU. ✊

NTEU ACT@nteuact.bsky.social · 2mo ago

This afternoon, @nteunion.bsky.social has delivered the bargaining claims of NTEU members to #ANU. We want to see a better ANU. That means healthy workloads, better job security and fair salaries. To be a part of winning it, join us today at www.nteu.au/join! ✊

The support, attention, care and education that teachers can provide for my kids - and every other parent's kids - depends on their resourcing and working conditions. Burnt out teachers don't lead to the best outcomes for students.

NTEU ACT@nteuact.bsky.social · 2mo ago

We're proud to support public educators and other school staff! ✊ @nteunion.bsky.social members know that staff working conditions are student learning conditions, and support our fellow education workers! Well done @aeufederal.bsky.social and other unions. 👏

Always good to run into your kid's teacher on strike. ✊️ Well done to @aeufederal.bsky.social member, Ali! The kids are in good hands. 😁 Proud to support her and other ACT teachers and school staff.

The only accountability we have at #ANU is some public embarrassment to those with little capacity for shame. That needs to change. youtu.be/e0bsEclzU5I

The ANAO Report on #ANU is out. It is scathing. 1️⃣ Fix ANU Governance 2️⃣ Repeal Job Ready Graduates 3️⃣ No University - anywhere - should be able to pursue mass job cuts without independent auditing. Join @nteunion.bsky.social at www.nteu.au/join. ✊ youtu.be/e0bsEclzU5I

Hundreds of #ANU staff met today to endorse an ambitious vision for a better ANU. Staff working conditions are student learning conditions. More than that - staff and students *are* the ANU. ✊

NTEU ACT@nteuact.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Today, union members at #ANU unanimously endorsed claims on healthy workloads, better job security, fair pay and more that the @nteunion.bsky.social will take to the bargaining table later this year. To win the working conditions you deserve, join NTEU today at www.nteu.au/join! ✊

It's time for #UniCanberra to support, value and respect UC staff. ✊

NTEU ACT@nteuact.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Bargaining progresses at #UniCanberra at a 🐌 pace. And 🦗 get a mention too! We need to see more from UC Leadership in terms of valuing, supporting and respecting UC staff. To make sure we get the improvements we need, join @nteunion.bsky.social today at www.nteu.au/join. ✊

Australian universities are in crisis. Students and staff are paying the price.    Thousands of university staff across the country took part in our National Class Sizes Survey. RSVP for NTEU's Class Sizes Report launch and an advance copy: nteu.info/classes-launch

Very proud to be sharing the #StrongerTogether platform for our team in @nteunion.bsky.social national elections. @alisonbarnes.bsky.social, @sarahecroberts.bsky.social and I are committed to continuing to build power for and with NTEU members. ✊🧵

"Senior leadership refuses to accept there is a crisis in the sector." Then maybe the sector should refuse to accept senior leadership? 🤔 Ask me about a little case study called #ANU.

Anthony Hack, a Jaadwa man of the Wotjobaluk Nation and NTEU Industrial Officer, spoke at the NES Inquiry today on the importance of including Cultural and Kinship Leave to ensure this is a workplace right for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers. Read NTEU’s submission: nteu.info/nes

Four more ANU council members quit after Julie Bishop's shock resignation

The acting chancellor of the Australian National University confirms four more members of the university council have resigned, following last week's exit of former chancellor Julie Bishop.

Unfortunately, the case of #ANU exposes as myth the notion that corporate appointments are needed to ensure universities are well run. We need staff and student oversight, and @nteunion.bsky.social will stand up for it. That will need reform of the ANU Act. www.smh.com.au/national/uni...
