2024 is shaping up to be a big year for eduactors
Over 9000 educators have already signed our pay demand for a 25% increase, and we won’t stop until we win all of it!
Our campaigning and actions so far have won new rights which means we are closer than ever to winning BIG for all of us.
Here are all the different ways we are campaigning to make sure we get the whole 25% pay rise we deserve.
- Negotiating a new Union Agreement across multiple employers, with the Government at the table as part of the new rights to Multi Employer Bargaining.
- Being the first union members to use brand new rights to fight for an extra increase for educators from the annual minimum wage increase.
- Union members won’t stop there, but will do whatever it takes, including running a national work value case if necessary. That’s how thousands of UWU members in Aged Care won a big pay rise recently.
