The 13th of February marks the date the official National Apology was made for past government policies that resulted in the forced removal of Indigenous children from their families.

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

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!!

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.

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…

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 ✊🏾💪🏾

Bravo👏👏 @SenKatyG & the federal govt for delivering super on paid parental leave. The super pay gap for women is a huge problem in retirement. This is a vital change for workers in feminised industries like education and will help thousands of IEU members.

Why are so few women in political leadership?
👉 Only 27 countries are led by a woman
👉 107 countries have never had a woman Head of State
On #DemocracyDay, learn what can be done to close the gap:

The vital work done by unions is being undermined. Construction workers, like all union members, deserve a union free from organised crime, kickbacks and intimidation.

Tasmania has become the last Australian jurisdiction to pass industrial manslaughter laws, meaning Industrial manslaughter is now law all over Australia. Unions fight hard to keep members safe, now employers will be held accountable if they gamble with workers lives. @TasUnions

The historic 15% pay rise for long day care workers is a clear lesson on the strength of union - from fighting for fairer bargaining laws, seeking the first agreement & now winning better pay for these vital workers. Union members made this happen! ieu.org.au/union-action-deli…
