The UNE Protected Industrial Action ballot is CLOSED!
The NTEU University of New England protected industrial action ballot opened last week and our members should have received their ballots by this afternoon.
Among the important issues members are seeking to address in the new Enterprise Agreement are: Clearer regulation of workloads, addressing the problems of trimesters, obtaining a pay increase for English language teachers that gives them the respect they are due, reducing casualisation, achieving a much greater level of collegiality, including genuine consultation provisions and proper complaint-handling procedures. Read more here.
It has been over 8 months since we served our first log of claims, but little progress has been made. We think it is time NTEU members had the option of taking action to achieve our goals and put an end to the university management’s intransigence.
Please vote! If you are unsure or have any questions about the ballot please do not hesitate to contact the branch (ext.3175) or our AEC Returning Officer (details below).
