Dear Dr Beyersdorf and Ms West,

The email on une-business (Monday 2 August) regarding the NTEU log of claims, and subsequent e-mails, raises the issue of NTEU representation rights in the
general staff enterprise bargaining process.

The Vice-Chancellor has delegated to me all matters relating to the Enterprise Bargaining process.

In accordance with the demarcation dispute concerning union coverage and representation of general staff at higher education institutions within NSW [Print J0369], the CPSU, ALHMWU and HSUA (who have now yielded such rights to the CPSU) are the unions with constitutional coverage in relation to general staff at the University of New England.

Therefore, as of 3 August 1999, the University will only recognise those unions with constitutional coverage to represent general staff during this round of Enterprise Bargaining.

This decision is also in line with the decision of Commissioner Smith in the HEGSS simplification process before the Australian Industrial Relations Commission on 6 June 1999.

Further, the University will recognise only those unions party to the current general staff Enterprise Agreement in relation to matters of workplace change.

If you have any questions regarding this issue, do not hesitate to contact Chris Burrell, Industrial Relations Officer on Ext 3496.

Yours sincerely,

Professor Brian Stoddart
Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research & External)
