The Tertiary Education Union (TEU), Public Service Association, and E Tū announced today their members at each university had voted to strike over their stalled pay talks. Grey said the unions and universities were "miles apart" in 18 separate collective agreement negotiations.

Public Service Association assistant secretary Alex Davies said it was disappointing that members had been forced into taking strike action. The TEU said it had about 7000 members in universities.
