Today I strike for a fair pay rise with and for everyone in precarious jobs at NZ universities. My employer (VUW) advised me that they will dock my pay during the 4.5 hours of strike. #VUWStrike#TEUonStrike#Postdoclife#ECRlife@nzteu
Following the employer's decision to suspend staff in order to deduct pay for the duration of our strike, our branch president has written to the Vice-Chancellor, Prof Jennifer Windsor, requesting that this money deducted be dedicated to the student hardship funds. #VUWStrike

Restoration of seaweed forests lags far behind other major ecosystems. This perspective argues that the #BlueEconomy, seaweed cultivation and the restoration industry, can be transformative. 🌊
