CPSU members at the University of Sydney will take 48-hour strike action on March 26-27 to demand an improved enterprise agreement with better pay and conditions. Negotiations have been ongoing since September 2012 but the University has not engaged meaningfully and has proposed cuts to conditions and pay below the cost of living. The union believes secure employment, fair pay, and appropriate conditions are important for staff, students, and the University's standards. They are asking for student and community support on the picket lines.
