I am a Projects Officer and NTEU delegate at the University Library, where I’ve been involved in grassroots organising for over three years. I’ve worked with my colleagues and fellow unionists to advocate for staff working conditions and respond collectively to the Library’s most recent organisational change process, obtaining key wins for job security including no forced redundancies. I’m an active member of the Campaign Committee, working to build successful branch meetings and actions.
I’m running for Branch Committee because I want to foster a culture of participatory, democratic, and non-sectarian trade unionism with a social conscience. Our branch and its members are facing mounting challenges from the cost-of-living crisis, the neoliberalisation of the tertiary education sector, and the University’s attacks on working conditions and political freedoms. Meeting this moment requires an active and engaged membership, a strategic and militant campaign of industrial action, and a branch leadership that is not afraid to defend our democratic rights and fight for intersectional social justice, including for decolonisation and solidarity with Palestine.
I’m proud to be running as a member of Rank And File Action (rafausyd.com), which stands for progressive unionism grounded in grassroots activism and workplace organising.
