One deal done, one to go on enterprise bargaining at the University of Wollongong

A new enterprise agreement is struck between management and the unions representing professional staff at UoW. There is a flat $1000 on signing plus four annual pay rises, starting in November and ranging from 1.3 per cent to 2.5 per cent plus improved leave provisions. Vice Chancellor Paul Wellings says, “progress continues to be made at the academic bargaining table and we remain optimistic that the parties will come to a negotiated outcome in the near future.” “I presume that means he is happy to meet our demands,” a union representative responds to CMM.
