Our Universities Matter
Investing in People and Society
After more than a decade of funding neglect, climbing student-staff ratios, and growing corporatisation of universities the implications are being sharply felt by academic and general staff in the way they conduct and administer teaching and research. At the same time, conditions of many staff are regulated by agreements struck under the previous government's harsh industrial laws, so that effectively the WorkChoices laws still applies to many University staff many months after the fall of the Government that introduced them.
In 2008 NTEU members have commenced a major campaign under the banner of "Our Universities Matter - Investing in People and Society". With the Federal Government currently conducting a review of higher education the aims include a reinvestment in our universites and a recognition of their status, importance and role in our communities, as well as securing agreements which seek to improve pay, conditions and career opportunities for their most important asset - their academic and general staff.
Comprehensive information and resources are available on the NTEU's campaign website: www.nteu.org.au/ouruniversitiesmatter. Updates on the campaign and progress of bargaining at your branch can be found at your NTEU Branch Website.
How can you help?
Contact your Branch Organiser if you are interested in helping in tasks to advance the campaign in your branch or department, school or work unit.

Collective Bargaining
During 2008-2009 all Australian public universities will negotiate new Collective Agreements, which will set salary levels and employment conditions for staff for the next three years.
The Union's key bargaining claims are:
-
A competitive salary increase.
-
Improved job security through restoration of employment conditions lost through the previous Federal Government’s legislation and requirements.
-
Clear and substantive workload regulation for academic and general staff.
-
Fair and objective classification procedures for general staff.
-
Increased Indigenous employment.
-
Improvements in pay, job security, career paths and superannuation for casual academic staff.
-
Better job security and employment conditions for contract research staff.
