Welcome to your May edition of Newsmonth. With the federal election decided, we welcome a government that prioritises education and a fairer deal for working people.
⏰ The next big date on our calendar is World Support Staff Day on 16 May. Download our resources and celebrate support staff in your school next Friday! See links below!
After winning strong pay rises for teachers and support staff in Catholic systemic schools, the IEU is still bargaining with employers to reduce workloads. And in NSW Christian schools, the IEU continues negotiations for fairer pay and better working conditions.
💪 Meet 11 IEU reps who share how they plan to strengthen their chapters.
We also cover an investigation into rogue childcare operators, the challenges principals face, and an important union win in the Fair Work Commission.
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
