The last bargaining meeting of the year was held on 24 November 2021, where at the request of UTS, the parties agreed to pause bargaining until February 2022.
The university stated that this pause will allow the UTS the opportunity to reassess the current position in light of further changes to the external environment and on the union proposals received to date with the view to developing a package that will be provided to the union representatives late in January and prior to the next meeting. This package will be accompanied by an explanation of the underlying assumptions that address principles of job security, the workplace culture that UTS wants reflected in the package as well as how it will ensure financial sustainability and the achievement of the UTS strategy.
The CPSU NSW will notify members and seek their feedback when this package is provided.
