Secondary education campaign on June 8: challenge your board!
How many lessons, pay increases and permanent contracts must be laid down in the collective labor agreement for secondary education? The AOb calls on teachers and supporters to start a conversation with their administrators and school leaders on Wednesday 8 June.
As a teacher, how many lessons would you like to give per week? What salary increase should you as a teacher or support worker receive? And should agreements be made in the collective labor agreement about more permanent jobs? The AOb calls on teachers and supporters to discuss this with each other, administrators and the school management at as many schools as possible on Wednesday 8 June between 14.00 pm and 15.30 pm.
Challenge your board to come and talk about what is really going on in the workplace
Negotiations on the collective labor agreement for secondary education are going smoothly, an agreement has not been reached. "Unfortunately," says AObdirector Jelmer Evers, "because 300 million euros is structurally available from the Education agreement with the cabinet."
Choice hours
De AOb would like to use that money to give each teacher and support staff 60 hours of choice per year, which can be spent on making work easier and personal development. A maximum of 24 teaching hours per week should also be set. "Agreements on this should be included in the collective labor agreement," says Evers, "just like a fair wage increase, which is necessary to make the profession more attractive."
However, the employers want to leave the spending of the 300 million to the teams for a large part, so that according to Evers there is a very good chance that the money will disappear in the lump sum. "If we are not careful, that 300 million euros will be thrown away and the staff will not see anything in the form of a lower workload."
Save the date: follow the livestream on YouTube on June 8 at 14.00 p.m., together with your drivers and school management
The employers have indicated that they want to strengthen the 'professional dialogue' in the schools. "We are happy to take up that gauntlet," says Evers. "That's why we ask all teachers and support staff to talk to their administrators and school management. Challenge them to really talk to the workplace, to see what's going on."
YouTube
That conversation will kick off on June 8 during a YouTube livestream of the AOb, from 14.00 p.m. to 14.30:XNUMX p.m. This can be seen via the website of the AOb† After that, the teams enter into discussions with each other, with or without their administrators and school management. During the conversation, a questionnaire (this will be open from June 8 at 11.00 a.m.) can be completed online. Definitely a preview.
Profession
The collective labor agreement offers the possibility to schedule members of the trade union freely for this purpose. "That is Article 15.5, paragraph 2," says Evers. "In order to participate in the conversation and the live stream, you can therefore, if necessary, appeal to this article from the collective labor agreement. If colleagues decide to become a member of the AOb can they also invoke the article from the collective labor agreement.
