Together – Protective Services Bargaining Update – Preparing for Action
Posted by Cameron Watson and delegates on August 2, 2019
It has been three months since your agreement expired and still no offer has been presented by the Service.
Yesterday, your delegates and advocates met with the employer in the hope that something would be presented. Unfortunately, the Service has only committed to providing a formal response to your claims by close of business Friday 9 August. The response from the Service won't be an offer but a response to be taken to government to form an offer.

TMR - Your day of action got results!
Posted by Remi Armstrong on August 1, 2019
What a day! Great work from all members in taking a stand and sending a message to the Department that members are not going to take their delay tactics lying down!

We are less than 18 months away from our next Queensland state election, and just over 6 months away from local government elections.

TAFE Educators: Meeting venues for tomorrow's industrial action
Posted by Together TAFE Team on July 29, 2019
You would have seen the email from Alex about the offer TAFE has made to Educators. This offer does not address a number of key concerns for members, particularly wages. It reinforces the need for Educators to take industrial action tomorrow from 10:00am to 12:00pm.
Offer for TAFE Educators - don't forget 30 July day of action.
Posted by Alex Scott on July 29, 2019
Last Friday TAFE Queensland finally made an offer to members to settle negotiations for the TAFE Educator Agreement.
TMR Day of Action 31 July
Posted by Remi Armstrong on July 26, 2019
Yesterday's negotiation meeting was very brief – all wrapped up in an hour! Why? You guessed it, still no bargaining authority!
If you think this is getting ridiculous – you are correct! This attitude from the Department shows a lack of care or interest in you - the people who make TMR tick.
