Last month I lodged a query at my new uni about my pay and the details of my casual contract. Yesterday I was told that I “won’t be needed going forward” w/o any reason or explanation (1/4)
Three days ago my supervisor praised my performance and offered me work across multiple units. I have received praise from students in writing and I expect that my teacher evaluations will be positive, but none of this matters (2/4)
I have contacted the VC, the Provost and the union, but there is very little that I can do. I was not dismissed. As a casual, I was simply “not re-hired” between short term contracts in what I believe is retaliation for questioning the status quo (3/4)
The purpose of casualisation is to create coercible and expendable labour. Casuals’ precarity and vulnerability means they will work for free out of fear, which unis know and exploit. If you stand up for yourself, they’ll replace you with someone more compliant (4/4)
