A better deal for members in standalone TAFES

Right now, TAFE teachers are stuck on an outdated workplace agreement that limits your ability to take action to get the improvements you deserve. And it seems that TAFE employers want to keep it that way. 

But, thanks to new workplace laws, we have the power to change this. With the majority of TAFE teachers' support, the AEU can apply to the Fair Work Commission for a “Single Interest Employer Authorisation” which would allow TAFE teachers to bargain collectively with their employers. 

It's vital that all teachers in standalone TAFEs support the campaign.
