NSWTF: Beware of dodgy TAFE offer - VOTE NO

Submitted by NSW Teachers Federation on 20 April 2016


TAFE teachers are being asked to vote No to an enterprise agreement which forces onerous conditions on teachers. TAFE NSW has unilaterally terminated bargaining for a new Enterprise Agreement for TAFE Teachers and Related Employees. The TAFE bargaining team indicated it will move swiftly to ballot in an endeavour to push through the proposed new Agreement.

The move comes as the Baird government’s attempts to denigrate TAFE backfired spectacularly yesterday when a report commissioned by TAFE Minister John Barilaro lauded a private VET provider which just last week was shown to be a scandal-ridden entity being investigated by federal police and the ACCC.

“We are calling on teachers to vote ‘NO’ and reject the attack on their salaries, their conditions and ultimately the TAFE system,” said Teachers Federation President Maurie Mulheron.
