If TAFE lecturers want a pay increase, the WA government will make cuts but THERE'S NO FAT LEFT IN TAFE!

TAFE lecturers and students are down to bare bones after past condition losses:

• LOST 4 weeks annual leave & other conditions
• LOST contact hours with students
• LOST technical, workshop and clerical assistance
• MADE TO increase class sizes
• MADE TO teach more classes
• MADE TO cancel classes when a lecturer is sick instead of paying for a replacement

These cuts cannot continue - There is NO FAT LEFT

What if primary and secondary schools increased class sizes, decreased hours at school, and cancelled classes when teachers were sick? You'd be outraged. TAFE deserves the same respect.

We need YOUR HELP - POST this to your local member of parliament NOW - Call on the WA GOVERNMENT TO:

• STOP class size increases
• STOP reducing student contact hours
• Properly fund and remunerate TAFE lecturers so they can adequately train our students to meet the needs of business & industry
• Reinvest WA's wealth in training and in TAFE

Please tell the government to STOP CUTS to TAFE
