If anyone is free/has spare time over lunch tomorrow (13 June) and would like to support RMIT staff in our efforts for fair working conditions, there's a rally tomorrow outside of RMIT Building 1 on LaTrobe St in the city at 12:30.
Following the rally staff will again be on strike.
Please boost - would be great to see a supportive crowd there!
