This is the first government to make good on helping student teachers juggle study and sacrifice other paid work - these paid prac placements will be a huge help. The IEU has been pushing this for years. Well done @JasonClareMP @AlboMP

[Ind. Education Union @IEUofA]

Positive steps from @JasonClareMP and the federal @AlboMP government with increased school funding. But more needs to be done to fully fund all schools and tackle teacher workload

16,000 ECEC educators and teachers across 650+ Goodstart Early Learning Centres will receive a pay rise of 10% this December, and a further 5% in December next year.

A well deserved win for hardworking ECEC educators and teachers, right in time for the holidays!

[Ind. Education Union @IEUofA]

Great news and long overdue recognition of our amazing early childhood teachers and educators. Multi-employer bargaining driven by union members made this happen!!

[IEU NSW/ACT @IEUNSWACT]

Lest we forget. Today we honour the service men and women who sacrificed their lives for our country.

Today marks the anniversary of unions winning one week's annual leave. It's easy to sometimes take these things for granted; they seem immovable, permanent.

A friendly reminder that without the long campaign by union members and their unions, we wouldn't have ANY annual leave ✨

[NSW Aboriginal Land Council @nswalc]

On this day in 1977, over 200 Land Rights champions gathered at the Black Theatre in Redfern to assert their right to control their land, make their own decisions, and elect their own leaders. Today, we celebrate those champions for their resilience and tenacity.

📢 Have your say: The Australian Teacher Workforce Survey is now open.

The IEU supports the #ATWD Survey and IEU members can be assured that contributing will assist the IEU in our efforts to lobby for improved salaries and conditions.

Nurses in NSW are taking industrial action tomorrow. Why? The NSW Government won't budge on their, frankly insulting, 3% pay increase offer.

PAY NSW NURSES WHAT THEY DESERVE ✊🏾💪🏾
