Welcome to your second issue of Newsmonth for the year. A print copy will land in your letterbox this week.
We celebrate a resounding Yes vote on new multi-enterprise agreements (MEAs) for teachers and professional and operational staff in AIS independent schools. The new agreements include strong pay rises and better conditions.
On the eve of the federal election, we urge members to vote for politicians committed to protecting your hard-won workplace rights legislated over the past three years.
We meet five IEU reps from four schools who tell us what the role means to them and how they strengthen their chapters.
This edition is packed with more great reads on topics including the campaign to pressure for-profit childcare provider G8 Education to fund paid parental leave and a new Bill to stop false abuse claims against innocent teachers.
We encourage you to share this email with your colleagues and invite them to join the IEU. We are always stronger together.
Carol Matthews
IEUA NSW/ACT Branch Secretary
