University of Sydney Staff Union Announces September 2nd Strike Over Bargaining Disputes

The University of Sydney (USyd) branch of the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) has called for a 24-hour strike on September 2, 2026. This decision follows a members' meeting on August 10, 2026, and four months of stalled enterprise bargaining, with the union citing management's refusal of claims on AI, disability, freedom of expression, and proposed changes that could degrade job security.
