@sherlock_alex, @RMIT - through her choice of sneakers, Kamala Harris signals a new era in female political leadership and demonstrates how footwear choices can shape a leader's identity and ability to connect with voters. https://t.co/IZrIC0kNVN

Good luck America! We're all rooting for you 🤞🤞🤞

BREAKING: CNN just released their fact check of Donald Trump throughout the debate. It turns out Donald Trump lied on just about every answer. Retweet so all Americans see this vital fact check on Trump’s BS.

The managerial shenanigans @RMIT have seen students punished, execs fleeing and staff waiting three years for a new EBA. Thanks to @theage for skewering the weasel word excuses from VC Alec Cameron's PR flacks. No wonder ministers want to fix governance at #universities! #auspol

RMIT’s latest bargaining update says strike action “actually slows down bargaining”. 

Well, here are *actual* ways RMIT has slowed down bargaining 🧵🪡

And don’t forget to sign our motion of no confidence in VC Alec Cameron https://t.co/3t5XPFpzVI

[NTEU — RMIT Branch @NTEU_RMIT]

Bit rich of Bridgid Connors and Sherman Young to accuse us of “unacceptable behaviours” during our #strike week when Mish Eastman is the one instructing security to block VE members from attending town halls they were invited to! What’s disgusting? #UnionBusting #ShameRMIT

[Rebecca Borg @RebeccaaBorg]

A group of RMIT vocational education teachers say they were unfairly targeted when they were denied entry to a staff town hall meeting after striking for fairer pay and reduced workloads | @theheraldsun

[Alexandra Sherlock @Sherlock_Alex]

Fair pay, manageable workloads, secure jobs and equal conditions please @RMIT, we deserve it. I can’t afford to strike but I will continue to do so if that’s what it takes.

What an epic 3.5 days! Huge thanks to our members for their sacrifice and commitment to fighting for what we deserve. We don’t know what will happen next but we can hold our heads high knowing we gave it our all, and we’ll do it again if we need to! #RMITStrikes #UnionStrong ✊💪

[NTEU — RMIT Branch @NTEU_RMIT]

Utter trash behaviour from Mish Eastman and senior management for refusing 3 award-winning educators and union members from joining the VE town hall yesterday. Discriminatory, disgusting union-busting tactics to silence members! @RebeccaaBorg @caitecassidy @nikkprecel wanna chat?

[NTEU — RMIT Branch @NTEU_RMIT]

First day of #pickets today! Now officially over 1000 days since our last agreement expired. If you haven’t already, sign up to join the pickets this week: https://t.co/BUNV4kw0a0 #RMITStrikes #UnionStrong 💪✊

[NTEU — RMIT Branch @NTEU_RMIT]

We did it ✊ VE staff have voted NO to #RMIT’s proposed agreement, rejecting management’s pathetic pay offer and conditions. Huge thanks to members for campaigning tirelessly for what VE staff deserve! See you at the pickets next week💪 @NTEUVictoria #UnionStrong

[NTEU @NTEUnion]

NTEU welcomes the amendment of Closing the Loopholes bill that stipulates a university semester is not a “season” for employment purposes. @DamienCahill8, NTEU General Secretary, says “It will be another disincentive to employing people in casual contracts, particularly where the work is actually ongoing …That’s what we’re really targeting – those forms of labour that are ongoing, year in, year out, but where casual workers have been used inappropriately.” https://t.co/uJWvxGJc6v

[Alexandra Sherlock @Sherlock_Alex]

This is devastating. We only learned of the planned felling 3 days ago, and they’re already chopping it down. It’s going to be mulched. We’re a design school that teaches #sustainability and #circularity and we’ve been given no chance to repurpose it into something meaningful.

[Patricia @Patrici04104554]

Much loved aged treasure at Brunswick campus being mulched with no consultation with RMIT Brunswick campus staff or students!! Site of many campus experiences, events, rallies and student enjoyment....

[NTEU Victoria @NTEUVictoria]

First it was their staff, now it's their students: @RMIT spite knows no bounds. When #universities start behaving like this towards their 'paying customers' it shows the #HigherEd system is broken @JasonClareMP:

[Alexandra Sherlock @Sherlock_Alex]

Very disappointing.

[Alison Barnes @AlisonBarnes25]

What a disgrace, @RMIT management. One of the outcomes of the review of higher ed must be an end to this kind of managerialist aggression. Mgts like ACU look only to cut staff, further casualise & sacrifice quality to cover cost of poor decision making https://t.co/qetQyPwghG
