National Tertiary Education Union members at five Queensland universities strike tomorrow over enterprise bargaining

Issues they want addressed include;

Central Queensland U: management’s proposed 1 per cent pay rise this year and 5 per cent over the next three “is unacceptable”

Griffith U:  over-reliance on casual staff, “we can’t agree on how to fix it until we know the size of the problem”

James Cook U: members want the university to act on job  security, safe workloads and make a pay offer

QUT: no pay offer from management and the need for improvements for professional staff on workloads, intellectual freedom and job security

Uni Queensland: workloads and job security

Members from Griffith, QUT and Uni Queensland will rally in Brisbane’s King George Square tomorrow lunchtime.
