Enterprise deal about to be done at UNSW

UNSW management and the campus branch of the National Tertiary Education Union are close to agreeing on a new enterprise agreement. So close the union has scheduled a members meeting to vote on the terms, which are yet to be revealed. As of late Friday, the final text  was still being discussed by management and the union’s negotiators, who also need to run it past NTEU head office before telling members

If all occurs as expected it will be a deal done at speed. Last month the union had industrial action scheduled, which was cancelled the day before, when UNSW came up with strike-stopping proposals (CMM July 31). Observers suggest that the issues last to be resolved flow from the comprehensive university restructure now underway, notably change management, redundancies and the operational impact of the new academic calendar. If union members approve the proposal it will go to an all-staff ballot.
