Following intensive bargaining between the NTEU Murdoch Branch Bargaining Team and Murdoch University Management, substantial progress has been made towards the agreement, including the reintroduction of proper regulation for the use of fixed term contracts by the University.

The Bargaining Team has therefore taken the decision to withdraw the proposed industrial action for next Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th February 2010, the first 2 days of the teaching semester.

Following intensive bargaining on December 16, the NTEU and Murdoch University Management reached agreement and have signed a Heads of Agreement. As a consequence of this HoE, the NTEU lifted its industrial action including the ban on the transmission of student results as of close of business on December 16.

The determined and effective action of members who have banned the transmission of results (and all those who have participated in this campaign throughout this year) have achieved significant movement from the University.

Negotiations will continue in the New Year to reach final settlement on new Union Collective Agreements at Murdoch University.

As a result of significant movement in our negotiations with management, the bans on the transmission of results are lifted, effective immediately (16 December 2009).

The determined and effective action of members who have banned the transmission of results (and all those who have participated in this campaign throughout this year) have achieved significant movement from the University.
