THREAD: With the latest revelations from @conorduffynews and interest from @NTEUNational in the experiences of casualised workers, it is worth pointing out some of the places where they have already been making themselves heard https://twitter.com/conorduffynews/status/1295444212972806144
Earlier this year @UNSWcasuals released the report 'Under the pump, unpaid and uncertain': https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aiXDTewJF9f1-PRKtvnpBmSAw4qW2kMR/view
This was followed by an article about fighting job cuts in Overland: https://overland.org.au/2020/05/no-concessions-why-university-workers-must-fight-for-all-jobs/
The @CasualsUsyd later released the report 'Over-worked and worked over': https://usydcasuals.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/survey-report-2.pdf
Notes from a meeting they held with university management were later published in Overland: https://overland.org.au/2020/06/zooming-in-on-precarity-notes-from-a-meeting-between-casualised-staff-and-university-management/
They then published a statement in response to management titled 'Austerity: A self-fulfilling prophecy' https://usydcasuals.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/response.pdf
More recently @CasualsMonash released the report 'Hide the pain away': https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SYklhdZhw6HA68PIAE9UrW7QEbUUzh_3/view
On twitter, @CasualHigher has been documenting the stories of numerous casualised university workers and @NHECasuals has emerged as a powerful voice for casuals. @CovidSupportUoM has been campaigning for the rights of graduate student-workers during the pandemic.
Further statements and articles can be found on the network blogs. USyd: https://usydcasuals.wordpress.com/ UNSW: https://www.unswcasuals.net/ Monash: https://sites.google.com/view/monashcasuals/home
It only took a day for there to be something to add to this thread on casualised uni workers making themselves heard. This time @Briony_Neilson and @NatiMayChulio https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/aug/19/our-jobs-at-universities-are-precarious-and-overburdened-the-pandemic-has-made-them-harder
