Full solidarity with TAFE teachers striking today ✊
TAFE is horribly understaffed and underfunded, with fewer teachers being employed every year, leaving teachers with worse pay and ridiculous workloads.
“I’ve been the only teacher employed in my TAFE’s carpentry department for over a year. It’s been 12 months since my colleagues resigned and they still haven’t replaced them,” one TAFE educator said.
TAFE teacher salaries have also been outpaced by the cost of living, with teachers taking home less $$$ in real terms than they were 5 years ago.
If you’re around Ultimo, head to Mary Ann Street Park today to join the protest rally outside TAFE NSW offices.
