SSO members are reminded that the AEU has declared Thursday 13 November an SSO Day of Action. All SSOs and other members in the metropolitan area are urged to gather at the steps of Parliament House this Thursday afternoon at 4.00pm.
The purpose of this protest action is to highlight the loss of SSO hours and jobs that will inevitably occur under the Student Centred Resource Funding Model (SCRFM), as well as the thousands of hours of unpaid overtime already worked by SSOs.
SSOs are particularly vulnerable under SCRFM because 63% of all SSOs are employed on a temporary or casual basis. The new Offer received on 10 November made no improvements to workload or job security for SSOs or any other AEU member.
SSOs are requested to wear red on Thursday and to attend the after school Parliament House rally. Bring placards, school banners, whistles and anything else to create noise.
SSOs in country districts will be organising a range of activities in their local communities to increase awareness in the general public of just how destructive SCRFM is for staff, schools and students.
