The current Support Staff Agreement will expire on 30th June 2013.
Clause 8.2. The University will commence discussions with the unions regarding a replacement agreement no earlier than six months and no later than three months prior to the expiry date of this Agreement.
This means that your pay and working conditions are up for negotiation.
It is vitally important that all UTS-CPSU members involve themselves in this process. We need to know from you what you want to see in the new agreement.
Here’s the link for the current Agreement.

The members of the UTS-CPSU have worked together over many years to bargain for the very best working conditions in the Higher Education sector.
Your support and input is critical to our success. As a Support Staff member and member of the UTS-CPSU, you will influence the pay and conditions that UTS Support Staff will receive in the next few years.
As you know, there are many good reasons to be a union member. Please explain to your non-union colleagues that being a member of the UTS branch of the CPSU will give them a voice and a vote at work through influencing the agenda and outcomes of Enterprise Bargaining.
