NTEU Demands Information about Final Change Proposal
On Monday, 27 February, the NTEU Sydney University Branch submitted a request for further information about management's Final Change Proposal.
In our letter we demanded more information from the University, including information about how staff were selected for redundancy, whether further redundancies are slated, student enrollment numbers, capital expenditures, and information about the University's assessment of the impacts of their proposal on casualisation and workplace health and safety. We also demanded that the university halt all non-contracted capital expenditure.

NTEU USYD Demands Management Comes Clean about the Job Cuts
The NTEU rejects university management’s stated justification for their proposed job cuts. The NTEU met with management on the morning of Monday February 13 as part of formal dispute proceedings, and we were unsatisfied with their responses to our questions.
As a result, the NTEU is demanding that the university management provide the information it claims demonstrates the need for widespread cuts.
On Monday February 13, the NTEU Sydney Branch wrote to the Vice Chancellor seeking information including:- The costings of the University's infrastructure projects;
- The costings of planned job cuts;
- Information and data relating to management's claims regarding their budget forecasting failures, especially since these failures appear to represent a "decrease in annual growth" rather than a dimunition of income;
- Information about the impact of management's proposals on insecure work and casualisation and workloads for existing staff.
We have requested that management respond to our letter by 5 pm on Wednesday February 15. Management’s response will be reported to the next NTEU Members’ Meeting on Thursday.
