And they’re only getting bigger and bolder. Over the last five years United Voice members have doorknocked, rallied, spoken to the community and lobbied politicians. We’ve worked hard to improve the conditions in our sector. We are now demanding Equal Pay. With an election coming up, now is the time to put pressure on our decision-makers. Join in and help us ensure that Australians know we won’t let the Government continue to fail educators and our youngest learners. Our next action will build on the power we’ve built so far to make sure educators are heard. Will you join us in telling the Government that the time for Equal Pay is long overdue?
More than 6000 educators demonstrated power by walking off.
