Higher Education

 

The Rank and File team understands and values the diversity of PSA/CPSU NSW members employed within the higher education sector and the unique challenges that working within a competitive union environment brings.

 

Achievements:

​

  • Secured office space at campuses

  • increased regional organising capacity to support the National Systems team

  • improved employment conditions across all universities (including at some Unis – paid super on unpaid mat leave)

  • Improved DV leave conditions across all unis

  • implemented a delegates network

 

We recognise the need to continue to focus and intensify our efforts in support of members in higher education and commit to:

 

  • maintaining a specialist team of industrial and support staff within the PSA who work exclusively with and in support of members in the federal industrial relations system;

  • promoting the industrial achievements of university members in enterprise bargaining and giving respect to the often ground breaking nature of their successes; 

  • continue our fight to stop the privatisation of TAFE NSW

  • ensuring that the PSA/CPSU NSW is considered an authoritative voice on matters relating to higher education policy in Australia; and

  • focus on the development and training of university branches to ensure continued growth.
