After a massive 18 month+ campaign, which included defeating a non-union ballot and multiple strikes, 95% of members at University of Newcastle have voted YES to a new agreement 🎉
A huge thank you to all UON members who fought 'til the very end for a better university.

It was amazing to stand up for our rights and for our University - and to do so with @PaoliniStefi ! There is power and solidarity in Union, but there is also sheer joy… @NTEUnion @NTEUNSW @Psychology_UON @Uni_Newcastle

General Secretary @DamienCahill8 at #UONStrike “When the Vice Chancellor attacks UON staff he’s attacking the entire [Newcastle] community. The only way you can do your job properly, and the only way that the uni fulfils its public role, is by investing in its staff.”
