The November 25, National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) members at Murdoch University.

At a packed meeting on November 25, National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) members at Murdoch University in Perth expressed no confidence in the university bargaining team and called on the Vice Chancellor to intervene in the negotiations.

They voted unanimously to begin industrial action with a stop work between 8.30am and 12.30pm on December 7. 

They will be the first university workers in this round of collective bargaining to take industrial action.

Members rejected the paltry pay offer of 3% over four years and called on management to reconsider its bargaining position, including its rejection of all NTEU log of claims items.
