The Life Cycle Of Bargaining

In the first episode of What We’re Worth, a podcast documenting the University Of Auckland TEU branch’s bargaining process for a new Collective Agreement, we get an update from Andy Hipkiss, from the first set of bargaining meetings that began on July 4th 2024. Then James Love speaks with Sean Sturm, a TEU member who has been on the bargaining team since 2011 about the life cycle of bargaining: how bargaining works, how the team is composed, and what to expect from the bargaining process this year.
