Essington School employer seeks to cut conditions

21 November, 2022

A plan for “indefinite” non-contact duties and no provision for release time used for planning, preparation and correction (PPCT) are just wish-list items the employer at The Essington School is seeking during collective bargaining negotiations.

The employer has a further alarming proposal to severely restrict employees from taking “operational matters” to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) for arbitration.

NT Organiser Jengis Osman said rather than engaging and acting collegially to work toward solutions to the claims put forward by our union, the employer has responded with proposals to cut conditions – potentially of all employees.
