With 80.000+ members, we stand up for better pay, better working conditions and less work pressure. We also monitor the quality of education. Our students are entitled to that.
Together we can achieve a lot with politicians and employers. And we help each other with advice and practical help to work pleasantly and safely.
There is a lot going on in education. And there is a lot to improve. You can get angry about it. Or shrug your shoulders in disappointment. But we know that together you can change a lot. We have proven that many times. Join. Join. Because the larger the group, the greater our influence. The voice of you and your colleagues is heard.
Vote on your collective labor agreement and have a say in the policy. As a member you vote on the collective bargaining. But members also have influence on policy, salary and terms of employment beyond that. And are many ways to get through the AOb to make your voice heard. During participation evenings, in working groups, via surveys and during seminars. And if necessary, we will all take to the streets together!
You hope it never happens. But if you get into a conflict with your employer, you are not alone. You can count on the help of our lawyers. Even in court if necessary. And you can always call them for advice about your employment conditions and your rights as an employee. In this way, your membership works like a legal expenses insurance for everything that has to do with your work.
Read about the most important themes and the most striking stories from education. You learn what is going on in your profession and among your colleagues. You will also find many practical tips that will help you in your career. As a member you will find the magazine in your mailbox 10 times a year for free.
