United Voice teacher aide and school cleaner members in Queensland have secured a funding commitment from the State Labor Government for a new package of conditions.

School cleaners and teacher aides stood side by side to get in-principle agreement on a number of real improvements.

These improved conditions include annual 2.5% wage increases, improved career progression for teacher aides, and enhanced training and safe work practices for cleaners.

The next step will be consultation with members early this year, leading to a formal vote for teacher aides and for school cleaners shortly after.

If you’re not already a United Voice member, now is the time to join so you can take the first step to ensuring yours is a job you can count on.
