In a long running dispute at the Centre for Adult Education in Melbourne, Australia, hundreds of administration, support staff and sessional teachers have agreed to an indefinite strike to press their claims. The dispute originated in 2011 when an agreement was reneged on by management. While negotiations have been ongoing since then, management’s latest offer seeks to cut workers’ conditions even further. This dispute is not the only one affecting Melbourne’s tertiary sector.
