IEU sub-branches will prepare for the campaign, discuss our bargaining priorities, build momentum and invite non-members to get on board.

Detailed surveying of members and focused discussion groups will guide the development of the draft IEU Log of Claims.

The IEU negotiating team will develop a draft Log of Claims, based on member input, improvements won by education unions around the country, and key issues that have arisen during the implementation of the current Agreement.

IEU Organisers will work with Reps and members in workplaces to build our collective strength.

IEU sub-branches will review our draft Log of Claims, and will have the opportunity to propose and debate amendments in advance of final endorsement.

If employers agree to negotiate as a Single Interest, The IEU will table the endorsed Log of Claims to and seek to commence negotiations.

If employers are prepared to negotiate as a Single Interest, IEU negotiators will be hard at work at the bargaining table, backed up by the campaigning actions and collective strength of members across Victoria.

If employers continue to refuse to grant basic bargaining rights to their staff , our focus will need to be on preparing to prove to the Fair Work Commission that a majority of staff wish to negotiate under a Single Interest Authorisation.

Salaries, conditions and protections remain in place until a new Agreement is finalised.

If resolution has not been reached, we will ramp up our campaign for a fair outcome which improves and protects salaries and conditions in Victorian Catholic education.
