UNIVERSITY of NSW staff union members will meet today to decide on fresh strike action
They will also decide on an international campaign after talks again broke down on drawn out enterprise bargaining negotiations.
Each side is blaming the other for the impasse in which UNSW vice-chancellor Fred Hilmer is refusing union demands to agree on limits on the use of fixed contracts and casuals.
National Tertiary Education Union members are due to meet today to consider renewing industrial action such as strikes and work bans.
The union is also considering widening its campaign to press its case to academics offshore, as well as to potential international students at the university's international offices and agents.
NTEU branch president Susan Price said if she were an academic overseas thinking of coming to UNSW "I would think twice about it".
