NTEU is the union at UOW, covering both professional and academic staff. It’s a national organisation with membership and union branches at every Australian university.
At UOW in 2018 our union has been growing and now is the time for all staff to join and contribute.
Union members at UOW are negotiating new conditions for both professional and academic staff at the university.
So to protect all that's great about working at UOW and to win fair pay, secure work and respect for all that UOW staff contribute, the NTEU needs all staff to join the union.
The NTEU is also part of the Change The Rules campaign being led by the ACTU, to ensure we see new fair workplace laws in Australia that gives working people fair pay rises, secure jobs and a fair go at work.
This feature has been sponsored by the following unions. Click the links to find out more.
For university staff with improved job security, who have either permanent or fixed term contract employment, it costs 1 per cent of their salary per year.
For staff employed casually at UOW, membership starts from as little as $2 per week.
Union fees are tax deductible.
Your NTEU contribution provides resources our union needs to campaign for and negotiate great working conditions.
We also ask members to chip in a little time, activism and ideas to our workplace campaigns.
An active and strong membership at UOW has won, protected and improved great workplace conditions like paid holidays, paid sick leave, fair yearly pay rises, superannuation, workplace safety, paid parental leave... the list goes on.
If people want a fair go in university jobs, join online at nteu.org.au/join.
