La Trobe Branch Log of Claims
30 May 2008 Professor Paul Johnson Dear Paul, Please find attached the National Tertiary Education Industry Union’s Log of Claims for a variation to the
Vice-Chancellor
La Trobe University
BUNDOORA VIC 3086
You will note from the Log that NTEU is seeking a relatively short Agreement expiring 31December 2009. The reason for this is that the legislative and funding arrangements for universities through to 2011 (being the date an ordinary three-year Agreement would conclude) are not yet clear.
NTEU instead seeks a commitment to resume negotiations at the end of 2009 for a “roll-over” 2010-2011 Agreement, on the basis of the content of the 2009 Agreement and additional claims only in respect of:
a)
matters that are no longer constrained by WorkChoices and associated regulations;b)
further salary increases, andc)
unexpected developments that materially affect the industrial relationship between the parties.We seek commencement of bargaining negotiations with La Trobe University management at your earliest convenience, and to conclude an Agreement within three months. To this end, NTEU proposes bargaining on a weekly basis for at least two hours at a time, moving to more intensive (day-long) bargaining sessions as needed.
We wish to arrange a time to meet with the University’s Bargaining Team in the week commencing 9 June 2008, by which time we hope the University will be in a position to respond substantively to the Union’s Log.
Please let me know when your Bargaining Team would be available to meet.
Yours sincerely
Bill Deller
NTEU La Trobe University
