BAN!
Just checked my uni mail, our results' release are now presumably delayed. Excerpts from the mail:
"...the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) who are the union which represent academic and general staff at Monash University have implemented workbans on the processing of students' semester two results...The bans are in relation to a current enterprise bargaining related dispute between the university and the NTEU..."
First heard about it coupla days ago, cos Carol had to submit a form for exemption but this's the first official confirmation we've had from the uni. Hopefully its approved, cos she's scheduled to graduate in 2 weeks time!! Pretty powerful, the unions here. During the 2nd sem we already had a day of industrial action, but this's truly inconveniencing many students..
Odd weather here in Melb as usual. I'm fortunate not to be in Sydney now, tomorrow/today? forecasted to be 42 degrees, VERY HOT! Can't help but cringe when I think of a friend now playing golf there in the mad mad heat =P
