The Age, one of Melbourne's biggest news sites, has reported on this week's strike at #UniMelb, quoting some awesome folks:
“The University of Melbourne is a hugely rich institution with crushing workloads, wage theft and insecure work and yet in so many respects it wants to maintain the status quo,” [acting NTEU branch president Chloe Mackenzie] said.
R. Grace & N. Precel, "Hundreds of tutorials cancelled as University of Melbourne staff strike."

It was a pity that the beautiful sunny weather of day one of our week-long strike at the University of Melbourne didn't continue into day two... but as we chanted this morning: "we will hold the picket line - rain, hail, or shine!"
And that we did! Surrounded by a solid turnout of amazing union members, it was an awesome day regardless of the non-stop rain. 😄✊💜
