My Gripe - don't read this as you may find it disheartning

Come February I will be stepping down as sectretary of the local NZEI branch because of health reasons, and my worksite will have to find another worksite rep.  There is a great posibility that I will be resigning from the union as the fees can be better spent else where, it all depends on how I manage over the school holidays.  I have had to change my home phone to a cheaper plan, and have had to cancell insurance policies.  All because the govenerment don't want us plebs to earn a decent…See More

Diann Rassell commented on Margaret Stormont's blog post 'AGREEMENT RATIFIED NOW NZEI SUBS RISE BY 9.65%'
There have been 5 members at my worksite leave the union since the fee increases were announced and as some of them (but not all) have had hours cut as well, I can't blame them (and I am the worksite rep). My husband is in the PSA and on a…

Support Staff may be replaced with students

I was very upset to read that with Support Staff being reduced in our Schools, students may take up some of the work.Well don't all staff have to be Police checked before they work in a school .Are students going to be Police checked? Are the at "risk students "going to be working closely with at "risk students". I have worked at a Teacher Aide for 12 years. I know what our youth can be like. eg I would not touch a Student even to touch an arm you can be accused of inappropriate touching.… Continue

AGREEMENT RATIFIED NOW NZEI SUBS RISE BY 9.65%

Thats if I have got my sums right and I think I have.  I keep checking and get the same answers.

Can you believe it - I am seriously thinking of withdrawing from the union and going it alone.

Support staff have ratified the agreement - most thinking that what was offered was better than nothing - I don't think that they realise that entry level support staff will not get to what entry level cleaners get now ($15.03) until March 2013 and by then the cleaners will have had two…

Now that the ratification is over...

Now that the ratification is over, we need to start letting NZEI what WE want to see happen.

 

For a start, I would like to see going back to a 12 monthly C.A. so that inflation can taken into account on a yearly basis..

 

Secondly, under the SSCA, Page 11, Section 3.3.1 "Note: Attention is drawn to the memorandum attached to this aggreement."  The Memorandum is on page 42  Job Titles.  Under Associate Clace, Grade A there is a entry techical assistant.  Grade B,…
