 The University of Melbourne has been taken to court by the Fair Work Ombudsman.

 When Capitalism took over education and labor costs were squeezed for every drop of profit. Will the Chinese be back?

The Fair Work Ombudsman has launched fresh legal action against one of Australia’s wealthiest universities, claiming it underpaid casual staff and kept false or misleading records.

The claims highlighted how the university had become the “wage theft capital” of the sector, the National Tertiary Education Union said.

“It illustrates how the insecure workforce approach of the university systematically results in exploitation and illegality,” Victorian division assistant secretary Joo-Cheong Tham said.

The ombudsman launched separate ongoing legal action against the university in August last year, alleging it threatened to cut the work of casual academics who wanted pay for working extra hours.

It also last year started back paying $22 million to about 15,000 current and former casual staff after many were incorrectly paid for minimum engagements or weekend work.

“There’s no doubt that corporations have taken advantage of the supply chain problems and the desperation of consumers to jack up prices far more than required to cover their own costs, and their record profits have made this inflation far worse,” economist Jim Stanford, from the Centre for Future Work, told The Drum.
