The IEU has been negotiating since May this year with the Association of Independent Schools (AIS) for new co-operative multi-enterprise agreements for teachers and support staff. Although the AIS has agreed to some of our claims (for example, improved paid parental leave), key issues are still outstanding.
Please read the latest NewsExtra below and take action. For the first time in over 20 years, we can rebalance the power in bargaining between schools and their employees.
What are the next steps?
We need our members and union reps to step up and make this happen.
Show your support and:
- Sign our petition here (or scan the QR code on the NewsExtra) and say ‘yes’ to a better deal.
- Ask your union rep to share the petition with teacher colleagues at your school. If you do not have a union rep, please contact your Union Organiser on how to elect a rep at your school.
- Encourage your colleagues who are not members to join the IEU.
The union will collate this petition, and names will only be provided to the FWC, not your employer. Your Organiser will be in contact with members at your school shortly to check how you are going and provide you with any assistance you may need. Click here for an explanation about the key issues.
