Once we have a successful campaign, we will be able to negotiate with the Department of Education to allow all schools to find new resources and resources, as well as to improve our collective agreements. On 26 July, members of the New Zealand Institute of Education voted in favour of a collective agreement with the Ministry of Education, which places the remuneration of early childhood education teachers on an equal footing with teachers in denb and secondary schools. Under these conditions, early childhood teachers will receive a pay increase of at least 18.5% by July 2020, NZEI members will receive a lump sum of NZ$1,500, and there will be an increase in child care allowances for headteachers and a new higher level of $90,000 for teachers. While the NZEI negotiates on behalf of all early childhood teachers in New Zealand, union members make up only 12.5% of the early childhood workforce in New Zealand. [14] [15] The NZEI Te Riu Roa team is focused on getting the best possible offer for members. It is up to non-members to negotiate their own employment contract. Apart from that, NZEI Te Riu Roa has not yet seen how the government has come to the settlement costs they are talking about in the negotiations and in the media, and we think they have significantly overestimated the calculations of our claims. For primary school teachers and principals, these goals and possible solutions will form the basis for negotiating the renewal of collective agreements. We would have liked to have received better offers faster through negotiation. NZEI Te Riu Roa Members of the negotiating teams made themselves available whenever the ministry stated that it was able to meet with us. (b) is the result of a combination, an agreement, a common understanding or a concerted act, whether done explicitly or implicitly by the workers, as required by the case.

Te Rito Maioha Early Childy New Zealand (ECNZ) and NZEI Te Riu Roa are negotiating the Early Childhood Education Framework (ECECA) framework for approximately 200 independent centres and services, and this agreement establishes the basis for the remuneration of early childhood teachers throughout the sector, with the exception of pre-schools. With the wage increases achieved during collective bargaining at the end of 2019, most teachers are now lining up for wage increases of 23 to 34 per cent in 2020 – an increase of NZ€4 (2.20 euros) – NZ 6.60 (3.80 euros) per hour. This recognizes the value of teachers` skills, responsibilities and experience that have been undervalued on the basis of gender. Schools are also funded to pay the premium rates. 1. Pay parity with the education sector (primary, secondary and kindergarten) for all certified teachers. 2. Fair rates of pay for ALL other roles. 3. An obligation to combat the undervaluation of women and men through the paid equivalency procedure. 4. Ensure that the ECECA continues to set the benchmark for early childhood teachers` salaries.

5. No salary reduction for an employee. 6. Maintain wage rates and endsatury rates throughout the education sector. 7) recognition of the contribution of ECECA members to the achievement of fair compensation. 8. The liquidation of the ECECA is subject to the government`s agreement to finance the fair payment plan. 9. Contact the government with the fair wage plan to close the wage gap. Our latest survey showed that, in these negotiations, we have taken a very high level of support for a different approach by focusing on a small number of key issues. We have four objectives, which we will include in the negotiations. Support staff in schools: your next pay increase from your 2019 collective agreement is about to begin! A 3% increase will appear in your salary from next week.
