  1. CAUGHT IN THE CRUNCH: The Surveillance State Comes to Your Local Supermarket

    Walk into any Coles outlet today and you're not just buying milk. You're feeding a surveillance machine processing 10 billion rows of data through Peter Thiel's Palantir Technologies. In early 2024, Coles signed a deal to deploy Palantir's "Foundry" platform across more than 840 stores, analysing every transaction, every worker's movement, every shift allocation. Workers across Victoria are monitored, with one shelf-stacker in Ballarat saying: "The computer knows where I am before my manager does."

  7. University of Cambridge college supervisors have won an average pay rise worth 15% as a result of Cambridge UCU's 'Justice for College Supervisors' campaign. College supervisors lead undergraduate tutorials (or 'supervisions') yet many are precariously employed and paid an hourly rate.

    Cambridge's colleges have now agreed new rates that will result in a pay rise worth 15% on average and over 20% for some supervisors.

  22. A new report by Oxford University UCU has highlighted endemic casualisation and poor working conditions at the University of Oxford.

    The report finds that 66% of academics employed by the university are employed on a fixed-term contract (the national average is 33%). And once marking and preparation time is factored in, the pay of hourly paid workers often amounts to less than the National Living Wage.
