The NTEU has lodged our Interim Log of Claims, and last week we discussed with Management setting meetings to begin Enterprise Bargaining.
This log was endorsed at the NTEU Members Meeting on March 21, 2012. It is just the beginning of the campaign, and we encourage all members to contact us with any other issues they would like to see included in this round of Enterprise Bargaining.
We know too, that the Vice Chancellor and the Provost are holding work place meetings around Enterprise Bargaining. The NTEU is encouraging all members to attend these meetings and raise issues from this interim log. We especially encourage members to mention their opposition to the job cuts and to raise issues around job security and redundancy provisions.
