The RMIT Strike: 1000 days without an agreement

Vocational workers at RMIT University took strike action once again, from Thursday 25 July and Wednesday 7 August, over management’s refusal to negotiate a new EBA which expired 2 and a half years ago. 3CR’s Priya caught up with RMIT University’s NTEU Branch Committee member Liam Ward back in March when both university and vocational staff were on strike, just to remind you how long this dispute was going on for.Later in the program, Priya interviews vocational staff member, Tami Gadir about ongoing industrial action at RMIT, but also to contextualise this industrial action in relation to worker solidarity with Palestine as Israel escalates its genocidal campaign of bombing and starvation in Gaza. Note: Priya is also an RMIT employee and NTEU member, and has been on strike with colleagues. Donate to the strike fund here.
