Non members wishing to join on the day are welcome to attend.

The Lunch and Learn will be held on Friday 14th August between 12.30 – 1.30pm in C208 on the Preston campus. We will try and organise meeting at other campuses depending on demand.

The improvements in benefits include:

*   Two 3.25% salary increases over the next 2 years, with the first to be back dated to the various dates in February and March when agreements were reached and the second pay rise 12 months later;

*   An additional $400 (pro rata) lump sum payment to each PACCT staff member;

*   Access to long service leave after 7 years (instead of the current 10); and

*   Improved maternity leave and adoption leave, including paid leave increased from 12 to 14 weeks, and an additional 12 months of unpaid leave

These outcomes represent excellent results for TAFE members at a time when governement is seeking to limit and reduce salary and other improvements.
