In this episode, Kate & Tony talk about a couple of emails that everyone would have gotten from our Vice Chancellor in the last couple of weeks. The first announcing a "deficit" and the second outlining the University's proposed pay rises for staff. We discuss how the emails were strategically timed to try and undermine the Unions move toward industrial action, and with industrial action now approved, what actions we can begin taking. 

We then talk about the University's attempt to vary the agreement that has already expired to dodge a claim of wage theft, and the upcoming statewide strike on May 3rd.
