Lovers of Noh Theatre don’t get a lot to watch but they can always enjoy the rituals of enterprise bargaining

The Fair Work Commission has approved a ballot of Uni Sydney staff on taking protected industrial action as part of enterprise bargaining.

Proposals range from a one-hour stop work to an indefinite stoppage. The campus branch of the National Tertiary Education Union applied for the ballot, which university management does not oppose. The union nominates overwork, gender affirmation leave and “a fair pay rise” as among the important issues.
