It’s so important to be part of the IEU. It’s the best way to protect your career and know your rights in the workplace. It’s great to have somewhere to turn, to ask discreet questions.

“Support staff can be quite vulnerable and are often casuals, so they need the Union more than anybody.”

Sarita Baidya : Castle Hill Early Learning Centre
“I don't think I can do without the Union because it has supported me in many ways in the past  and helped me to work out any issues I may have had. I'm a Union member because it's gives me a sense of security so that if something happens, I have the Union backing me.”

"Over the past 10 years, the changes to principals' work and workload have been extraordinary. The IEU provides us with an opportunity to raise our concerns. "

"I'm a strong believer in unions. When my employer was reluctant to negotiate for a new enterprise agreement, my colleagues and I got organised - we joined up members and asked previous members to rejoin. The result? A workplace and Union Chapter much better equipped to face an employer reluctant to negotiate."
