Fix this textIf it rains on Thesday it’s because the Federation
Fix this textagreed to it in the salaries settlement
Fix this textby Jennifer Leete
Fix this textBeware - our history shows us that
Fix this textafter any salaries agreement there
Fix this textwill be those in schools, colleges
Fix this textand district offices who will say you
Fix this textmust do ‘this’ because the
Fix this textFederation agreed to it in the salary
Fix this textagreement.
Fix this text‘This’ is said of all manner of
Fix this textthings but most often about things
Fix this textwhich such people expect teachers
Fix this textwill not be keen to do. Extra play-
Fix this textground duty, parent teacher nights,
Fix this textextras in high schools, you name it
Fix this textand it will be blamed on the
Fix this textFederation’s salary agreement.
