The university had to ask the Fair Work Commission

The university wants to run a voluntary redundancy round (CMM Monday) but there’s a problem with the wording of the enterprise agreement’s clause 1.41.6 and its reference to clause 1.40.1.3, (if you are that keen, it’s all explained here ).

Management and the National Tertiary Education Union agree on what needs to be done and so does FWC Commissioner Yilmaz.

Now CMM understands what VC Duncan Maskell meant when he said last week, the VR proposal was “dependent on a decision from the FWC”.
