Membership means having a say! Over the years, NTEU has successfully defended the key professional and employment rights of university staff, particularly through collective bargaining. In 2009 and 2010, NTEU will negotiate new Collective Agreements with all universities, seeking significant improvements to pay and conditions. Most of your key conditions of employment will be covered by those Agreements, and it will be Union members who will decide the priorities for bargaining each time a new Agreement is negotiated.
