Government attacks public educators, unions – RALLY 4pm TODAY!

From 4pm today, AEU members will be rallying on the steps of Parliament to protest the State Government's unprecedented decision to have orders made against public educators.Branch Executive is asking all AEU members to voice their anger at the State Government's insulting and arrogant move to have last minute orders made against Public Education workers.

An emergency rally has been called by Executive and will take place at 4pm today - outside normal school hours - on the steps of Parliament House. Parents, teachers, SSOs, TAFE lecturers, businessmen and women and people from all backgrounds have been contacting the union and media outlets in large numbers to comdemn the Government for it's actions.

The State Government has nailed their colours to the mast. They clearly have no intention of properly funding public education and are quite happy to attack the right for workers to strike.

The AEU is calling on all members and supporters of public education to come to Parliament at 4pm to tell Mike Rann that the Government's actions are unacceptable.
