Location: Picket on Entrances to Sydney UNiversity
To the residents of Darlington and Redfern,
On Tuesday March 26 and Wednesday March 27 members of the National Tertiary Education Union will be taking industrial action at the University of Sydney, with a 48 hour strike.
There will also be a ‘community picket’ at 4.30pm
on Tuesday, at the City Rd entrance.
This strike has been called by our members because of University
management’s attempts to wind back working conditions and stall negotiations
over a new Enterprise Agreement at the University. If you would like to know
more about the issues, you can read more at our website: http://www.nteu.org.au/sydney/
Entrances to the University will be picketed from 7am on the day.
This will most likely result in some local traffic congestion. We apologise to
local residents for any inconvenience caused. However, as many of you are all
too aware in light of your recent experiences, sometimes collective action is
required in order to make the University’s current management accountable for
its actions.
If you have any further questions (and/or if you would like to
join us on the picket lines!), please contact us at nteu@nteu.usyd.edu.au.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Thomson
Branch President
National Tertiary Education Union
University of Sydney Branch
