This is a joint statement from Associate Professor Ulrike Rivett, in her capacity as the President of the UCT Academics' Union (UCTAU), and me, to update you on the negotiations between management and the UCTAU.

Our respective negotiation teams had a lengthy meeting on 17 February (we finally broke at 23h30) and have made some progress. Through the facilitation of the CCMA commissioner, we have now reached a point at which we are working together on the details of a revised offer. We hope to present this offer to UCTAU members at a meeting later this week.

Details of the schedule and venue will be available by Monday 22 February.

Sincerely,

Associate Professor Ulrike Rivett (Vice-Chancellor)
Dr Max Price (UCTAU President)
