  5. Parity • Since 1997 we have had the same increases from the same date as our government sector colleagues on the scale. • The operative date is as important as the quantum. • No matter how long this agreement takes to reach, we expect the operative date to be the same.

  8. Challenges: SOs and SSOs • Percentage increases on scale • Real increases in pay • Classification levels • Majority of SOs and SSOs are at top increment of their level • Government sector deal will take months to formally conclude

  9. Challenges – Principals, Deputies • Difference between classification structures in VGS and Catholic schools • Relativities between levels of Principal salary and new 75,500 rate for teachers at top of scale • Relativities between Principal rates and other leadership positions • Relativities between deputies on salary and the top of the scale, deputies with allowances

  10.

  11. Challenges for Independent Schools • Status of current agreement or lack thereof! • Government sector benchmarking • Schools that commit to % above VGS • Leapfrogging • Getting to the bargaining table • Dealing with the new industrial framework for agreement making.

  12. The process from here… • Continue negotiations with Catholic employer • Depending on progress, continue to campaign on our issues • ‘In-principle’ Agreement considered by Committee of Management • With COM endorsement - to meetings of VIEU Councils • With VIEU Council endorsement - to ratification by VIEU members at sub branch level – over approximately 2 weeks • With majority member ratification, General Secretary signs off on Agreement. • Agreement then goes through formal process of employee voting. With two weeks notice, a formal ballot will be held in each workplace of all employees to be covered. • On a majority ‘in favour’ vote, Agreement will be lodged.

  13. Non-members • Everyone in schools will benefit from the Agreement. • VIEU members campaigned for it. • VIEU negotiates it • VIEU resources come from VIEU membership fees. • Isn’t it about time non-members paid their way?
