October 31, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Catholic school teachers have voted to take industrial action next week at 195 schools across Queensland – including two in the South Burnett – unless a meeting on Wednesday resolves the dispute.<\/p>\n

Independent Education Union of Australia (Qld & NT) Branch Secretary Terry Burke said the protected action had been endorsed by 90 per cent of members who voted.<\/p>\n

In the Wide Bay region, 10 Catholic schools – including St Mary’s Catholic College in Kingaroy and St Patrick’s Primary School in Nanango – are authorised to take industrial action from November 7.<\/p>\n

The union says the move follows the failure of employers to address concerns regarding workload, insecure work and wage parity with the State School sector.<\/p>\n

As a result, work bans will begin from Thursday, November 7, in the authorised schools.<\/p>\n

The work bans will take the form of:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Banning attendance at any meeting of staff (except meetings regarding student welfare, and staff and student safety)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Banning duties during scheduled meal breaks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Banning supervision lessons or cover periods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Banning playground\/transport supervision (with the exception of real safety risks for students)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • Banning employer requests for data collection or analysis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            The union is seeking:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Real measures to address the workload faced by teachers and the impact of insecure, contract-based work for teachers and support staff<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n
              • To maintain the 30-year wage parity with State sector through the provision of a $1250 one-off payment to all school staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Mr Burke said the industrial action was an absolute last resort for employees.<\/p>\n

                He said negotiations had been ongoing since March.<\/p>\n

                \u201cQueensland Catholic employers have the opportunity to resolve these matters at a meeting next Wednesday, November 6, and prevent any protected action from taking place,\u201d Mr Burke said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
