UTS Members Update and Members meeting July 2020 (pdf version)
You have already heard from Professor Andrew Parfitt, Provost and Senior Vice-President, on the recent meeting on negotiations to vary the UTS Professional Staff Agreement.
The purpose of the variation to the Enterprise Agreement is to maintain the current position of the University’s financial well-being and to ensure that UTS exits the COVID19 period in a sustainable financial position. We have been advised that the changes to our agreement are not permanent. The CPSU NSW will ensure that professional staff’s conditions are not compromised.
Through consultation with our members, CPSU NSW UTS have addressed your concerns with Senior UTS Management to ensure that no one will be disadvantaged by the changes. CPSU NSW assistance will be made available to those members who maybe significantly impacted by the proposed EB variation.
It is important to understand that we, the professional staff of UTS, need to invest in the ongoing financial viability of the University. We encourage all CPSU NSW UTS Members to take their annual leave and to keep their balances at an acceptable level.
The Vice-Chancellor has explained, that UTS will realise a financial benefit of $2m to the financial bottom line by every staff member taking one day of annual leave.
