The University of South Australia was very pleased to announce last month that its new enterprise agreement was approved by 87 per cent of the poll (June 7).

And how many staff voted, CMM inquired. Not telling the university responded.

It isn’t only CMM who is curious, in the Fair Work Commission, Commissioner Platt was also interested when asked to approve the agreement and inquired about the turn-out. “I was satisfied that despite the low voter turnout (which also occurred in respect of the 2011 and 2014 Agreements) the Agreement was genuinely agreed, the commissioner decided last week. The deal was duly ticked.

It seems UniSA staff trust management and unions to look after them.
