纽卡斯尔大学员工于10月23日罢工, 以工资、工作保障和工作量为重, University of Newcastle staff to strike Oct. 23 over pay, job security, and workloads amid stalled talks.

Newcastle大学员工将于2025年10月23日罢工半天, University of Newcastle staff will strike on October 23, 2025, for a half-day over unresolved disputes on job security, workloads, and pay, following stalled negotiations. 国家高等教育联盟(NTEU)指出,自2018年以来,在大学计划通过裁员和减少课程节省2 060万美元的情况下,工作量、工作无保障和实际工资削减增加多年。 The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) cites years of increasing workloads, job insecurity, and real-terms pay cuts since 2018, amid university plans to save $20.6 million through staff and course reductions. 这次罢工涉及约10%的工作人员,反映了对进展停滞不前的挫折感,以及新南威尔士州各大学中近1 800个职位面临风险的更广泛关切。 The strike, involving about 10% of staff, reflects frustration over stalled progress and broader concerns across NSW universities where nearly 1,800 positions are at risk. 虽然该大学说它仍然开放,预计干扰最小,但它反对该工会要求四年内加薪20%的要求,认为它在经济上是不可持续的。 While the university says it remains open and expects minimal disruption, it disputes the union’s demand for a 20% salary increase over four years, calling it financially unsustainable. 该大学报告核心业务赤字达1 630万美元,尽管包括一次性资金在内的盈余较大。 The university reports a $16.3 million core operating deficit despite a larger surplus that includes one-off funds. 如果会谈失败,就有可能采取进一步的工业行动。 Further industrial action is possible if talks fail.
