The University is seeking to remove limits on teaching loads for both staff in EFRs and mixed Teaching and Research positions.
The decision to take this action follows a unanimous vote by members of the UniMelb NTEU Branch.
“We don’t anticipate the campaign weakening at all, and whatever students can do for staff, we’re there for you a hundred per cent of the way.”

The Australian Education Union (AEU) has threatened legal action if the move is not reversed.
The vote will occur next Tuesday at the NTEU USyd branch meeting.
In a protected action ballot yesterday, staff voted overwhelmingly to authorise any future action.
