Organising! A Remedy for Despair here II We chat with Ben Kunkler, who as part of Melbourne University NTEU Causals Network was part of the campaign which clawed back $45 million of stolen wages from the University and set the agenda for the entire higher education sectors push to decasualizes the workforce. Their campaign has been immortalised through the Commons Library's launch of the Organising! A Remedy for Despair case study and the We are The University oral history. These two resources document how casual workers at Australia's richest university launched a series of campaigns in 2019 and 2020 which culminated in the back payment of a staggering $45 million in stolen wages. Along the way they recruited hundreds of new members, built a network of delegates, and steadily forced management to concede to a range of demands. Both the oral history and the summarised case study provide insights and lessons for those challenging exploitation and building union power in their own workplaces.
