Hundreds of UNSW staff are expected to go on strike for 24 hours from 9am on Wednesday, with some lectures and tutorials expected to be cancelled.

A spokeswoman for the university said: "All classes at UNSW will go ahead as scheduled, unless lecturers or tutors have advised students they will be participating in the strike.

"All UNSW campuses will be open and normal operations will continue at the university."

Staff involved in the strike will picket at university gates from 8am and will speak at gate 9 at midday.
