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! ✊
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. ✊
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! ✊
Staff at #UniCanberra shouldn't be: 🟣 Overworked 🟣 Underpaid 🟣 Easier to Sack All UC staff are welcome to @nteunion.bsky.social's online meeting tomorrow at 12.30pm. Register for the meeting at 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.
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! ✊
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. 👏
Things are moving quickly at #UniCanberra! @nteunion.bsky.social is making progress at the bargaining table, but issues remain. NTEU members will vote on whether any final Agreement is good enough for union endorsement - if you want to have a say join today at www.nteu.au/join. ✊
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
The ANAO report on #ANU is out. Careers were destroyed, livelihoods lost, lives wrecked and people damaged - for what? @nteunion.bsky.social members stood up for the ANU and won. Join at www.nteu.au/join. ✊️
Ian Prager and Amelia Dale are #ANU staff and @nteunion.bsky.social ANU Vice-Presidents. They reject claims that TEQSA's intervention undermines university autonomy. Staff & students *are* the university, and they'd lost confidence in Julie Bishop & ANU Council. www.crikey.com.au/2026/05/28/a...
We work at ANU. Julie Bishop's exit wasn't due to a university losing autonomy — the opposite is true
'The higher education sector' is not boardroom members and chief executives. The sector is staff and students — and we are not 'rattled' at all.

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! ✊
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
"It's not enough just to change the bums in the seats, we actually need to change the structure of how ANU is governed overall." @nteunion.bsky.social's @lachlanclohesy.bsky.social on #ANU.

Yesterday we received a salary offer from #UniCanberra. If you're a UC staff member, we'd love to hear from you. We're opening a survey to all UC staff, including @nteunion.bsky.social members and those yet to join. You can let us know what you think at nteu.info/ucsalarysurv....
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...
