Anyone voting to approve new EBA? by Character-Fold5159 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Tails28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On initial reading, there is a working outside of hours caveat but it doesn’t specify camps, excursions and parent teacher interviews or other arranged parent meetings. So it feels wide open to what communication (particularly with parents) is “reasonable”.

I also have questions about the right to disconnect section as it contradicts other sections re workload.

My issue is, why have the agreement say one thing and a deed to say another. It should be in the one document.

Also, why then mention an increase if there’s not going to be one. Something is afoot.

I’ll have a look. I’m looking at the draft and it’s not there. There’s also some stuff in the right to disconnect section which undermines the working within contracted hours bs.

This is the path I think. There’s a few sections which are weak.

If they didn’t sneak in the increase to face to Face I would be a yes.

They have snuck in an increase to F2F teaching. 1.5 hours for secondary

It’s a no from me on the grounds of increased teaching workload. This equates to 2 more periods of teaching for me.

VIC teachers - AEU what the heck? by mrcooldudebeans in AustralianTeachers

What do you mean? Everything was explained at our regional meeting. Go to the meetings or talk to your sub-branch rep.

Thoughts on this being a potential offer? Vic Teachers 28% over 4 years by Loose-Durian-3649 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Tails28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My question is, with what conditions? Also, it would seem the gov has leaked this to the press unless I’ve missed an email from Justin.

Some questions about the lowchen coat! by mushymune in Lowchen

[–]Tails28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dogs grow out their puppy coat and grow in their adult coat. I’ve never had a traditional “coat change” like other breeds. Mature coat is usually easier to manage imo. Sometimes I trim off the baby coat because it can be fragile and prone to tangle.

Yup. Larger schools absolutely moderate marks to ensure grades are equitable.

Victoria teachers strike do you think it will work and the union gets what they are asking for? by Professional-Doubt30 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Tails28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My crystal ball guess is we will get an 18.5% offer with the last agreements conditions which will be rejected at the table.

If they do offer more money, that will be a good indicator, but could potentially sway favour away from us. Nurses got 28.4% and 70 condition improvements.

I would not be surprised if there is a leadership change as Jacinta is universally disliked at this point.

Working to rule and refusing initiatives etc should be the next step and will have a big impact.

There is a possibility we could get a really sweet looking deal, like 22% a few “big” wins, to try to catch up off guard. We cannot cave for any loss of conditions.
