Dear Union Reps/ Workplace Reps
2011 Log of Claims [Schools]
The Union’s counter proposal was tabled yesterday.

Please join the Email A Day to Your Local MP Campaign and check out www.sstuwabuildingthefuture.org.au. Your support is essential.
Personal expenditure – the Union has a brief survey with the link available through Communication 30 to capture this information. Please complete the survey BY Wednesday 21 September 2011.
Auditor General’s Report Right Teacher, Right Place, Right Time
This report is timely and it is all the more important that the Union ensures the Deployment of SEA Staff (Transfer) clause is in the Agreement along with a commitment to review current practices and negotiate with the Union. While the report slams the Department for lack of monitoring and risk management with the introduction of new placement practices e.g. IPS, it should be remembered that it was the Barnett Government who moved down this pathway and refused to ‘trial or review’ this program despite the Union’s ongoing concerns and call for ‘trial and review’ before expansion. Belatedly they now have in train a review which will report in 2013.
DUMAS HOUSE Rally + “Wall of Signatures” – Thanks to all contributors and participants. See http://www.sstuwabuildingthefuture.org.au
2012/13 State Budget Submission
The August Executive endorsed ICT/Digital Technologies as the focus for Union’s submission to the 2012/13 State Budget process. Work has already commenced to develop an issue paper. Please keep an eye out for your opportunity to contribute. This is a hugely under resourced area in our schools, yet the demands and expectations of community and governments are extremely high.
