Members vote YES to Industrial Action

The Australian Electoral Commission has released official figures for our ballot at Griffith University and the members have voted resoundingly to take industrial action.

Just over 80% of members voted in favour of a 24hour strike, whilst 84% of members endorsed a ban on the collection and dissemination of Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) and Student Evaluation of Courses (SEC) material, an issue that is becoming a hot button issue for academic staff.

Further results of the ballots are as follows:

• 81% approved One hour stoppages, taken separately or consecutively
• 83% approved Four Hour stoppages, taken separately or consecutively
• 82% approved a ban on the use of private vehicles for university intercampus travel
• 78% approved a ban on the preparation and submission of new course guides and outlines
• 75% approved a ban on the transmission to the University of assessment results
• 76% approved a ban on attendance at University Graduation ceremonies

General Meetings are now being held on all campuses to endorse the Branch Committees recommendation that Griffith Branch members of the NTEU participate in a 24 hour stoppage on Wednesday 16th September.
