Fix this textIn the immediate aftermath of
Fix this textthe Federal Coalition Govern-
Fix this textment's defeat, NSW teachers
Fix this textshould justifiably expect that
Fix this texttheir rights at work will be pro-
Fix this texttected by state and federal Labor
Fix this textgovernments.
Fix this textNot according to the people in
Fix this textcharge of the NSW Department of
Fix this textEducation and Training (DET).
Fix this textFederation is concerned the
Fix this textDepartment is planning to abol-
Fix this textish the centralised transfer
Fix this textsystem and open nearly all posi-
Fix this texttions up to local selection.
Fix this textThis approach indicates a gross
Fix this textmisunderstanding of the impor-
Fix this texttance of a transfer system in en-
Fix this textsuring security and stability for
Fix this textteachers and students in NSW
Fix this textpublic schools.
Fix this textSignificantly, it is in stark con-
Fix this texttrast to the views of Education
Fix this textMinister John Della Bosca when
Fix this texthe addressed Federation's August
Fix this textCouncil. The Minister said he un-
Fix this textderstood “the way the staffing
Fix this textagreement works and why it's of
Fix this textvalue both to public education and
Fix this textto teachers”.
Fix this textFederation has been pressing
Fix this textfor months for negotiations on a
Fix this textnew schools staffing agreement.
Fix this textThe union's aim is to have a new
Fix this textagreement in place before the
Fix this textcurrent one expires at the end of
Fix this textterm 1 next year and the 2008-09
Fix this textstaffing operation commences.
Fix this textDET has deliberately thwarted
Fix this textany progress. On November 15,
Fix this textFederation met with the DET to
Fix this textcommence negotiations but it had
Fix this textno proposal to put.
Fix this textAfter a further two weeks of
Fix this textseeking negotiations, Federation
Fix this textlodged a dispute notification on
Fix this textNovember 30 with the NSW In-
Fix this textdustrial Relations Commission to
Fix this textcontend that DET was not acting
Fix this textin good faith.
Fix this textOn December 1 Federation
Fix this textCouncil endorsed a resolution to
Fix this textinitiate a major industrial and
Fix this textpolitical campaign to achieve a
Fix this textnew staffing agreement. Federa-
Fix this texttion Representatives are to con-
Fix this textvene meetings on the first day of
Fix this textthe 2008 school year to endorse a
Fix this textresolution on this matter.
Fix this textIt is hoped that the history of
Fix this textschools staffing since the Scott
Fix this textReport (1989) and Your School's
Fix this textRight To Choose (1992) under a
Fix this textNSW Coalition Government, and
Fix this textthe pivotal role played by teach-
Fix this texters in the community-based cam-
Fix this textpaign against the federal Coali-
Fix this texttion Government's Work Choices
Fix this textlegislation, is not lost on the NSW
Fix this textLabor Government.
Fix this textThe NSW Government should
Fix this textunderstand that teachers will
Fix this textoppose attempts to destroy their
Fix this textrights to transfer and under-
Fix this textmine their students' rights to be
Fix this texttaught by a qualified teacher, re-
Fix this textgardless of geographical location
Fix this textand other factors that impinge
Fix this texton a school's ability to attract and
Fix this textretain staff.
Fix this textThis is a fundamental equity
Fix this textissue in NSW public education.
Fix this textA staffing system based on
Fix this texttransfers is the proven means of
Fix this textensuring statewide teacher supply,
Fix this textcurriculum continuity, and stabil-
Fix this textity and security for students. If
Fix this textsuch a system is abolished or sub-
Fix this textstantially dismantled, the way will
Fix this textbe cleared for the implementation
Fix this textof the agenda that we just defeated
Fix this textin the federal election local hire
Fix this textand fire, individual contracts and
Fix this textlimited tenure.
