Moving us forward

Membership density is the key that unlocks our progress on award discussions for you, the member.

The power of membership is evident with the negotiations around the new (ongoing) enterprise agreement.

There has been an agreement in principle on several issues and this would not have been possible without the membership behind the officers. The tidying up of issues around the pay scale, and clarification around various forms of disaster leave has allowed teachers and staff to have a better sense of security.

Through all the detailed and complicated negotiations, the strength of membership is the key to success. The density of membership is the key that unlocks our progress on award discussions for you, the member.

With that in mind, I encourage you to sign up members of staff who are yet to join us – invite them to belong to our organisation that works to improve teachers’ working conditions. We encourage you to check the IEU website and Facebook page to stay informed of progress and developments.
