Welcome to your seventh issue of Newsmonth of the year.
Teachers and support staff in Catholic systemic schools have won pay rises and better conditions after a strong vote in favour of new enterprise agreements negotiated by the IEU.
Read about the union’s fight for members who have had long service leave unfairly deducted by their employer.
Find out how the union made front page news by turning Sydney, Coffs Harbour and Lismore into a sea of pink as part of the union’s campaign for pay rises for community preschool teachers.
The union is also holding independent school employers to account over workload transparency gained in your new agreements.
This edition is packed with more great reads including how the IEU is bargaining for better pay and conditions for members in Aspect schools, the federal government’s anti-bullying review and our ongoing coverage of the safety crisis in the early childhood sector.
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
