To: Swinburne Vice Chancelor, Profesor Linda Kristjansen.
Equal Pay for Equal Work.
We the undersigned, call on Swinburne Vice Chancellor, Professor Linda Kristjansen, to agree to pay equity for the staff at Swinburne Student Life. We believe there is 'more to University than University' and the Student Life staff are integral to making the student experience a rich and rewarding one. By paying the Student Life staff so much less than other staff, the University is undervaluing their important contribution to the University.
Why is this important?
Swinburne University's 'Student Life' staff are currently bargaining their Enterprise Agreement. 'Student Life' staff are the backbone of University culture, developing and conducting student social activities on campus. Yet staff employed by 'Student Life' are paid much less than their colleagues who are employed by Swinburne University. Is this pay gap fair? The University thinks that this is OK. NTEU members don't think so. Help 'Student Life' staff to achieve salary justice during Enterprise Bargaining by signing our petition.
