NSW Teachers Federation is encouraging all members to attend the Your Rights at Work rally in Sydney on April 22.
The rally begins at 11am at Hyde Park and will be followed by a march to the Sydney Cricket Ground where a "Rockin' for Rights" concert will take place.
The rally is being organised by Unions NSW.
April 22 is the last Sunday of the school and TAFE holidays.
Posters advertising the rally have been sent to all Federation Representatives with multiple copies sent to schools in Sydney, Wollongong and Newcastle.
Federation hopes that buses will be organised from regional and rural centres. Where members cannot get to Sydney, it is hoped that regional rallies will be organised. Further detail about transport and regional rallies will be provided as it becomes available.
Federation has called on members to join the community protest to defend the right of teachers at work. This call follows the most explicit statements so far from the Howard Government about performance pay and the local hiring and firing of teachers.
Teachers are urged to support the April 22 rally in order to:
- defend teacher tenure and transfer rights
- defend collective salary agreements
- defeat the Howard Government.
