Serious question: Is society better off with strikes, or without them? Australia is now a society without strikes; it is bipartisan policy that a government body must decide whether workers can withdraw their labour, and it’s virtually impossible to do it. Employers can always withhold their money, but workers cannot withhold their work unless some government employees say they can, which means there can never be balanced negotiations.

Want to know more about @sophielamond's 37 contracts with @UniMelb since 2017? Here's a short interview.
Except for @UniMelbMDHS, every faculty Sophie worked for was restructured so many times that "It's hard to keep track of which departments I've worked for."
