this is the email, i couldn't figure out whether we should turn up or not considering we were pretty much told not to:
NTEU Strike Action - Monday 1 March 2004
I have been advised that the NTEU intends to take industrial action at UTS, in the form of strike action on the first day of Autumn Semester, 1 March 2004.
I would like to assure you that the University will be open and will operate as normal on this day. I have asked those staff who have scheduled classes who participate in the strike to make arrangements so that the University can notify you of their absence from classes.
I hope that these arrangements minimise any disruption to you.
Best wishes for the new academic year.
Professor Ross Milbourne
Vice-Chancellor
