NZEI Stop Work Meeting
Important Notice:
Dear Parent/Caregiver
The
school has been advised by the NZEI Te Riu Roa that it is holding a Paid Union
Meeting for teachers on Wednesday 14th
November. Accordingly, the majority
of the school’s teaching staff will be unavailable after 1:00pm on that date.
NZEI is
the union that represents primary teachers, primary principals and support
staff. Under the Employment Relations
Act, paid union meetings are a legal entitlement to discuss union business.
The
meetings are part of a national initiative to seek feedback from teachers about
their employment agreement and the Government’s public education policies which
NZEI believes will have a negative effect on teaching and learning.
In our
experience, NZEI calls paid union meetings infrequently and only when it
believes that there is urgent and important business to discuss with its
members. NZEI is particularly concerned
that the Government appears to be moving towards the privatisation of education
and the introduction of a competitive model of schooling and teaching. Other countries that have adopted this model
have seen a decline in their overall educational achievement ranking.
I
encourage you to either keep your child at home or make some other arrangements
for the duration of the meeting. However, if you are sending your child to
school at this time an alternative programme will be provided for her / him for
the duration of the meeting. We apologise for any potential disruption to you
and your child's routine on the day of the meeting.
Thank you
for your cooperation and assistance.
