The Sydney Uni NTEU voted to strike again in week 10, demanding:
- a real pay rise,
- serious casual rights (conversion rights, pay for all hours worked, sick pay, and mass job creation),
- professional staff rights (internal staff rehiring, redeployment windows, and equal redundancy)
- 40/40/20 academic workload protections.
After over 13 months of negotiations, we are still a long way from reaching a fair settlement for staff, and striking is our only way to send a strong message to management that the union is serious about winning a fair agreement.
We want to make this action as strong and serious as possible and are calling members to redouble their efforts in building the strike!
