IEU members employed in Emerald-based early childhood education centres recently attended a breakfast network meeting, during which they reinforced their commitment to staying informed about critical sector issues and the value of union.

Early Childhood Branch representative to IEU-QNT Council Jenny Finlay said the event was a great opportunity to come together and discuss relevant professional and industrial issues.

“A productive breakfast meeting was held to discuss current early childhood issues including enterprise bargaining, child protection and the Digital Code of Conduct,” Jenny said.
