Stop the sacking of Robert Austin

Left wing lecturer and long time union activist Dr Robert Austin will be sacked from his permanent job on the 24th of April. He was given notice of dismissal in October 2005 for failing to 'fit' his new work environment in International and Community Studies (RMIT Melbourne). Management’s actions seem in large part motivated by an article in the Herald Sun criticising Robert Austin for re-scheduling a class to allow students to attend a student union rally.

Robert Austin has always fought for other people, he was sacked for standing up for what he believed in and fighting for the rights of others, he now needs your support.
