悉尼大学数千名员工将于周三进行24小时罢工，抗议校方在人工智能应用政策上的立场1。全国高等教育联盟（NTEU）代表员工提出的核心诉求包括在企业谈判协议中加入对AI系统的保护条款、员工加薪20%以及兼职员工养老金提升至17%1。NTEU发言人Vince Caughley表示："我们要求对AI使用施加可强制执行的保护，防止其被用于裁员、加重工作量、破坏学术和专业判断，或替代大学中至关重要的工作与人际互动1。"
大学管理层认为罢工时机不当，主张AI治理应通过可灵活调整的政策框架而非三年协议条款来实现1。罢工期间，大学建筑将仅限持ID者进入，几乎所有合适课程转为在线教学，无法远程进行的实验室和其他活动将被取消1。
Members of the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) at the University of Sydney will commence a 24-hour strike on Wednesday over stalled negotiations regarding artificial intelligence protections and workplace conditions.1 The industrial action follows a breakdown in enterprise agreement talks between the union and university management.
The NTEU is demanding enforceable safeguards against AI deployment in the workplace, including protections against job cuts, intensified workloads, compromised academic judgment, and the replacement of human work and interaction fundamental to university operations.1 Union spokesperson Vince Caughley stated: "We want enforceable protections against AI being used to cut jobs, intensify workloads, undermine academic and professional judgement, or replace work and human interaction that are fundamental to a university."1 Beyond AI protections, the union is also seeking a 20 percent pay increase and a rise in superannuation contributions for casual staff to 17 percent.1
University management has contested the timing of the strike, arguing that AI governance should be implemented through flexible policy frameworks rather than locked into three-year enterprise agreement clauses.1 During the strike, campus buildings will be restricted to ID holders, most suitable courses will shift to online delivery, and laboratory work and other activities that cannot be conducted remotely will be cancelled.1
The strike occurs amid financial pressures on the institution, which recorded international student revenue of 1.7 billion Australian dollars in its most recent financial year alongside a surplus of 194 million dollars, down from 545 million dollars in the previous year.1
