Term 1, Implementation
AEU representative
Hold a sub-branch annual general meeting toelect representatives and develop a schedule of sub-branch meetings for the year (if notalready in the school meeting schedule). Further information can be found under ‘How to revitalise your sub-branch’ at aeuvic.asn.au/reps-info/sub-branch-representatives.
Ensure that a sub-branch representative participates in the induction process for all new employees so they are aware of the role of the union, their right to join the union, and the terms and conditions contained in theVGSA 2022, as outlined in clause 11(5).
Focus on building the knowledge and strength of the sub-branch. Organise AEU training for sub-branch representatives and members. Members who have been nominated to attend a trade union training course are entitled to paid leave to enable attendance.
Recruit new members, including ES, teachers and principal class. Make sure all potential members and new staff are approached and asked to join. Aim for 100% membership.
Ensure agreed consultative arrangements,including long-term planning decisions from the previous year, are in place and operating effectively, especially in relation to ES and teacher workload.
