NTEU delegates set the agenda for bargainingNTEU representatives from universities across Australia met for two days last week to decide the national priorities for the next round of bargaining negotiations for the sector. A key component of the Union’s agenda will be measures to reduce the high level of casualisation in the sector. Other major claims agreed at the conference include:
Your union will be telling university employers that they must ensure their most valuable resource, their staff, get the respect, recognition and reward they deserve. Bargaining should be driven by the concerns of members. The national priorities for this round have been informed by consultation with members, surveys and feedback. But bargaining negotiations are not only about the big issues that affect the whole sector. It is also an opportunity to address and resolve local or university specific concerns. Negotiations for a new Agreement at USQ are not due to start before March 2013, the current Agreement doesn’t expire until June next year. Your Branch Committee will be running local area meetings and other activities through second semester to get your input. Your involvement as an NTEU member at USQ in setting the agenda for the negotiations at USQ is important. For more information click here NTEU Media Release or contact your Organiser Ivan Phillips. |
