View the Final draft of the new agreement
21 October 2019 Update
In the weeks since two thirds of QTU TAFE Division members voted to accept TAFE Queensland’s offer, I have been leading your QTU team as we continue to negotiate and edit clauses. We believe that the appropriate amendments to references to legislation, cross referencing of clauses, syntax and grammar and the like have finally been resolved.
We have also ensured that all the parties to the agreement share the same understanding of the meaning and intent of the new clauses. I recognise the contribution of TAFE Queensland CEO Mary Campbell in this extended process
We now have a final and settled agreement.
In numbers, this is the culmination of:
- more than 18 months of working with rank and file members, in branches and through your representatives at TAFE Council
- seven long months of negotiations and 24 formal meetings of the single bargaining unit
- six TAFE Executive meetings (to date) and three special, additional TAFE Executive meetings
- two periods of protected industrial action, totalling 26 hours.
This has resulted in one agreement that delivers salary increases and improved working conditions for our TAFE Division members employed by TAFE Queensland.
