Higher Education Survey 2007
During October the NTEU invited Victorian higher education
staff to complete a survey about issues of significance to them in
the sector, ahead of the enterprise bargaining discussions the
Union will be having with our employers in 2008.
Over 4,600 staff from all Victorian universities responded to the survey.
The initial results of the survey are now available - see the links below.
We would like to thank all those who participated in the survey for their input. The Union will hold a series of information sessions at each university to provide a report back of the results of the survey in early 2008. We will advise of the details in February next year.
If you have any questions about the survey please contact NTEU Communications Officer Michael Evans on (03) 9254 1930 or mevans@vic.nteu.org.au
