In dignify of Ruth George, our union presents an annual award in her name to an active school officer unionist. Primary women teachers were paid less than their male counterparts. Many women busy in Catholic Schools were paid less below the religious exemption provision and. Catholic schools tended to have larger class sizes than state schools to name a few. When the two unions amalgamated in 1970, the newly formed organization took the name of the Queensland Association of Teachers in Independent (nongovernmental) Schools Union of Employees, or more simply, to a generation of our members, QATIS. The union boasted 774 members at the time of amalgamation and then doubled in the next five years and trebled in 10 years. In 2015 IEUAQNT has a growing membership of more than 17,00 teachers, aspiring teachers, school officers, premature childhood teachers and assistants, and ELICOS and business college staff across Queensland and the Northern Territory. Each committee addresses special issues and is made up of union officers and members. The Independent Education Union of Australia (IEUA) is the federal union representing the industrial and professional rights of principals, teachers and other education staff (including principals, teacher librarians and librarians, advisers and assistants, and clerical and administrative promote staff) active in non government schools and colleges, premature childhood centers, and other non government educational institutions in accord with its r Jules. The history of the federal union is strongly linked to the history of its state and territory associated bodies and branches, the earliest of which date back to the first of the 20th century. In the hasty 1970s, these teacher organizations as healthy as non government teaching unions in WA, the ACT, the NT and the Tasmanian Autonomous sector formed a national zenith organization, the Self-reliant Teachers Federation of Australia (ITFA). It is also during this time that the non government teacher unions in the other jurisdictions sought coverage of urge staff in non government education institutions on the basis that the labor of teachers and urge staff are inextricably linked to the delivery of lofty quality education for students. As the work of the ITFA continued it became increasingly known that if the role of the affiliated bodies as Dona Gide employee representatives at the national and State levels was to be protected, federal registration would be an imperative. Its application sought rules for coverage of the broadest range of education workers in non government education institutions. Our union's Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was endorsed by Reconciliation Australia in June 2016, acknowledging our meticulous and professional responsibility to positively influence the perceptions and behaviors of tomorrow generations by occupied with members to urge the process of reconciliation within their own school communities. Our union’s RAP will operate at the Innovate slick in accordance with Reconciliation Australia guidelines, joining together with a large collective of organizations that have turned their appropriate intentions into a framework for action. Our union’s RAP details meaningful events and actions, including: Increasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Representatives on union bodies.

It also protected workers from being dismissed for union activity. Teachers’ conditions continued to decline. In the 1930s Ruth George played the major role in reestablishing the universal award covering non government assistant mistresses. Ruth George and her colleagues took on the resist of restoring their salaries despite employer opposition. In honor of Ruth George, our union presents an annual award in her name to an active school officer unionist. With the rapid growth of population in the 1950’s there was intense pressure on the education system, it was not uncommon to have class sizes of 8090 in primary schools. There was a vast need for secular teachers and many came over from the State sector generous up the benefits of occupied in the government sector such as Government superannuation. There was no superannuation handle for teachers in non government schools.
