Fórsa has formally sought a start to contract review discussions for special needs assistants (SNAs). The union won a commitment to a contract review in the discussions that led to the Building Momentum public service agreement.

 

The review would encapsulate the full SNA contract including issues such as June working and the so called ‘72 hours.’

 

As the union awaits the confirmation of dates for talks from the education department, its Education Division executive committee said it would continue to press to secure dates for the commencement of the review.

 

The executive has resolved to consider other avenues if a date is not forthcoming from the department. The union says a failure to undertake the review would be a breach of the national agreement.

 

The Building Momentum provision for a review includes a review of the obligation for SNAs to be available for an additional 72 hours each year.

 

It’s never been more important – or easier – to get the protections and benefits of union membership. Join Fórsa HERE or contact us HERE.
