Members may be aware the University of Wollongong (UOW) management have written to staff proposing forced annual leave as a measure to get it back in the black.
The proposal outlines the following:
The UOW CPSU NSW branch has been contacted by members who are understandably outraged regarding both the proposal and possible consequences if the proposal is not backed. This echoes the approach taken to the SAL negotiations.
Members have also pointed out their commitment to the university to ensure it remains viable. However, the way the proposed closure has been raised is not in keeping with genuine consultation.
As with the SAL proposal, the UOW CPSU NSW Branch of the Professional Staff union is following up and advocating strongly to represent your interests We have written to the university outlining the concerns raised and will be following up on those issues.
In the interim the UOW Branch of the CPSU notes:
The CPSU NSW will be holding a meeting for members shortly. Keep an eye out for the bulletin with details.
The CPSU NSW is the union for Professional Staff and will always put Professional Staff interests first.
Your UOW CPSU NSW Delegates are all Professional Staff who know the university. You can email us at if you have any questions.
