Casual/Temporary/Part-time Survey
24 November 2004
The research project conducted by the Term 4 Anna Stewart Temporary Officers is drawing to a close. The research targets the level of union membership and participation of casual and temporary teachers in schools and TAFE colleges.
A significant number of teachers have casual or temporary status. Countless numbers of these teachers have been working on a casual or temporary basis for prolonged periods or in some cases for the whole of their careers. Many of these casual and temporary teachers do not see the relevance of the union for them or do not value their own experience as being of relevance to the union. Often casual teachers have little continuity of contact with the union due to having a variety of workplaces. This group of teachers is an untapped wealth of experience and knowledge who perhaps have not previously seen themselves as activists.
We would like to hear from Casual and Temporary teachers in schools and Part-time Casual teachers in TAFE colleges, to gain a broader understanding of issues relating to these teachers' experiences of unionism.
Please encourage all Casual and Temporary teachers, whether union members or not, to complete the survey. The survey can also be accessed by clicking on the relevant link on the NSWTF website http://www.nswtf.org.au/surveys/public/
