Gender and equity reforms, driven by union campaigns in 2024, will benefit over 50,000 women workers who make up 72% of IEU members across Australia.

This is the first government to make good on helping student teachers juggle study and sacrifice other paid work - these paid prac placements will be a huge help. The IEU has been pushing this for years. Well done @JasonClareMP @AlboMP

Teachers have the most important job in the world.
Paid Prac gives our future teachers a bit of practical support while they complete their practical training.

Positive steps from @JasonClareMP and the federal @AlboMP government with increased school funding. But more needs to be done to fully fund all schools and tackle teacher workload

16,000 ECEC educators and teachers across 650 Goodstart Early Learning Centres will receive a pay rise of 10% this December, and a further 5% in December next year.
A well deserved win for hardworking ECEC educators and teachers, right in time for the holidays!

Great news and long overdue recognition of our amazing early childhood teachers and educators. Multi-employer bargaining driven by union members made this happen!!

The IEU calls on @AlexGreenwich MP to restore protections for LGBTQI school staff & students to his #EqualityBill and for the NSW govt to implement full protections from discrimination in non-govt schools.
The Bill will be considered by Cabinet today.

Today marks the anniversary of unions winning one week's annual leave. It's easy to sometimes take these things for granted; they seem immovable, permanent.
A friendly reminder that without the long campaign by union members and their unions, we wouldn't have ANY annual leave ✨

On this day in 1977, over 200 Land Rights champions gathered at the Black Theatre in Redfern to assert their right to control their land, make their own decisions, and elect their own leaders. Today, we celebrate those champions for their resilience and tenacity.

📢 Have your say: The Australian Teacher Workforce Survey is now open.
The IEU supports the #ATWD Survey and IEU members can be assured that contributing will assist the IEU in our efforts to lobby for improved salaries and conditions.

Unions are the driving force behind new agreements and higher pay. Repairs to IR laws by Federal Labor are paying off for hundreds of thousands of workers & their families ieu.org.au/ieu-speaks-unions…

Today’s stats on enterprise agreements show what has happened since Labor was elected & they changed IR laws. Wages would have collapsed if they did not make these changes. New agreements average payrise are 4%. Dutton wants to rip this away

Nurses in NSW are taking industrial action tomorrow. Why? The NSW Government won't budge on their, frankly insulting, 3% pay increase offer.
PAY NSW NURSES WHAT THEY DESERVE ✊🏾💪🏾
