NTEU USYD | 2 HOUR STOP WORK MEETING – Tuesday 13 October

NTEU USYD Branch

23 Sep, 2026

Members will be taking industrial action by stopping work from 2 - 4 pm on Tuesday 13 October 2026

The stop work meeting will be held in H70 LT 1110 (Business School building) and via Zoom.

This is to demonstrate members' commitment to an Agreement that includes additional job security provisions, workload protections, protections against negative impact of AI on job security and a fair pay deal.

The two hours will also allow members to:

  • receive a full review of the substance of where enterprise bargaining stands from the Bargaining Team, and;
  • Decide on future industrial action.

If you're attending in person, join us at H70 LT 1110 (Business School building).

If you are attending the meeting on Zoom, please ensure you display name matches your full name as per your member record.
