TAFE Negotiating News 13

no-fat-thumb-001The NO FAT LEFT IN TAFE CAMPAIGN is upsetting the employers!

The Union has received calls from members at Central Institute of Technology and Pilbara TAFE telling us that they have been told to take down their NO FAT LEFT IN TAFE POSTERS.

It begs the question: "What are the employers worried about?"

It is obvious that the efforts of members to raise awareness of our campaign are worrying this government. We encourage memebrs to keep up the good work.

Contact Ramona or Pat Burke when you are organising an outing for your skeletons.

Dont forget to send us your photos with the skeletons and politicians.

No WorkChoices WA

Troy Buswell and the State Government have appointed a former Howard Government industrial relations advocate to review Western Australian workplace laws and will soon announce changes that could affect up to 300,000 Western Australian workers' jobs and livelihoods.

For Our Future

Public schools are a foundation stone of our society. They are places of learning, of inspiration and opportunity where every Australian child can get the education they deserve.  It's the key to a strong economy, a skilled workforce and a socially cohesive society.

Save Our Schools

Public education should be free and open to all to ensure non-selective and non-discriminatory access to a high quality education. Every child has a right to be educated; to develop as a human being. This basic capability should not be denied to anyone, either by design, apathy or neglect.
