It’s always university staff with no job security who seem to get the short end of the stick, while executives keep raking in millions without fail. Monash has an appalling track record on underpayment; it’s already admitted to underpaying more than 9,000 employees by $17.6…

Ending the week with a big win for our union against wage theft and bad governance! 🥳 “This is an enormous victory for staff who have bravely stood up against appalling conduct that is symptomatic of the governance crisis engulfing Australian universities.” @AlisonBarnes25

I don't think it's possible for consecutive tweets to sum up the current state of the UFC more accurately.

The UFC should make an offer to Ngannou. Unless he signed a new deal or extension his original PFL promotional agreement should be up and he should be a free agent now.

My latest article for @jacobin on why the UFC’s claim to be a haven for free speech is bullshit (just like Trump’s).

Honestly this was the story 15 years ago. People just refused to acknowledge that the UFC has built tremendous moats around their product and no one outside feeder promotions run by brokers can survive over the long run.

In session in the Federal Court for Monash Uni’s wage theft case. I’ll be live tweeting from this hearing today. The NTEU alleges Australia’s largest university has not lawfully paid hundreds, perhaps thousands, of its casual teachers going back to 2016. Justice Snaden presides.

Monash University faces the Federal Court in Melbourne tomorrow for a wage theft prosecution. A group of casual teachers owed backpay will be gathering at the Federal Court forecourt, 305 William St, from 8am Wed 4 Dec, to demand wage justice. You're welcome to join us

Wonder if fighters know that the UFC’s cozy relationship with Trump makes it very unlikely that they will enjoy legal or labor reforms to help them be paid like other top pro athletes. Monopoly entrenching relationship.

The significance of the loss of @BloodyElbow to adversarial coverage in combat sports is incalculable. There is so much we know about the conduct of bad actors in the space because of their work. There is no other site like it. What a devastating moment.
