Hundreds of university staff vote to take unprotected strike

Hundreds of university staff have voted to take unprotected industrial action in protest against widespread job cuts and a lack of federal government funding support at a time when the sector grapples with the loss of international student revenue because of COVID-19.

"Our motion commits us to the goal of ‘making democratically planned unprotected industrial action possible’," he said."Striking is the tried and tested means of securing rights for working people and advancement for society."The strike is in protest against, what NHEAN says is, inadequate federal government support for universities and job cuts in the sector which university managers have imposed in response to the loss of international student revenue.

Dr Riemer said the federal government had refused to support universities through the pandemic to prevent the job cuts. The federal government said its overhaul of student and government contributions would fund an extra 39,000 university places by 2023 and 100,000 by the end of the decade in response to surging demand for tertiary education.
