NTEU Strike PowerPoint presentation

Help build the strike with weekly stalls or walkthroughs or leafletting.

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

Open Day 27/8/22

Come from 9am on Saturday and join our lively disruption of USYD’s open day, to get our message out of the reality of education and work quality at Sydney Uni.
