ENTERPRISE BARGAINING<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Better workplaces.
Better universities.<\/h2>\n

Australian universities are built on the passion and dedication of staff. We deliver world-class teaching and research, open doors for students, and enrich our communities.<\/p>\n

But to do our best work, we need secure jobs, fair pay, and safe, respectful workplaces. Staff are being pushed harder than ever \u2014 insecure contracts, rising workloads, and uncertainty about the future are taking a toll. It doesn\u2019t have to be this way. Better workplaces mean better universities.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why NTEU members are campaigning in Round 9 of enterprise bargaining for real improvements that make universities stronger and fairer for everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our key goals<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Fair pay rises that keep up with the cost of living<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Strong workload protections<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Stronger rights for union delegates and members<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Secure jobs, with limits on insecure and fixed-term work<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Improvements to reproductive health, gender affirmation and cultural leave<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

17% superannuation for casual staff<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Safeguards around the use of artificial intelligence in universities<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Collective action works<\/h2>\n

We know collective action works. In the last round of bargaining, staff won above-inflation pay increases, breakthroughs on job security, and stronger redundancy protections. None of it was handed over \u2014 it was won because staff stood together.<\/p>\n

Round 9 is our chance to build on those gains. Together, we can make sure universities value the people who make them great.<\/p>\n

Join us today \u2014 and help win better workplaces, better universities.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
