Enterprise Agreement Information

The Catholic Schools Office, Armidale and the Independent Education Union have developed proposed new enterprise agreements for teachers and principals. Those agreements will be subject to a vote of teachers and principals in the period between 5 and 15 April 2013. Information regarding those agreements and the voting process may be accessed at this link http://www.ccer.catholic.org.au/SchoolsFairWorkInfo/

If you have taught casually since the start of 2013, you are eligible to vote on the proposed new agreement for teachers. Information about how to vote will be sent to you via e-mail on 5 April, or via post on 5 April or shortly thereafter. 

If you do not receive that information, and are eligible to vote, please contact Paul Holman at the CSO on 6772 7388.
