Time to change the SSTUWA - Facebook Group

[Courtney Wilson]

Hi all

A facebook group has been created as a rallying point for those teachers who are seeking a change in the leadership of the SSTUWA. I could like to stress that this group is not factionally aligned, we just feel that it is time the the members took back control of our union.

As teachers we influenced the WA election result its now time to influence another.

If you are searching for the group on Facebook the name of the goup is "Time to change the SSTUWA".

Please promote this to your fellow teachers and union members.

Hi all

The recent open letter and avderts have clearly spelt out the direction that the Unity faction is taking in the coming election.

Anne Gisborne & Pat Byrne - Minimal to no classroom experience over a significant period of time. The only person on their ticket as a Senior Officer is Graeme Repper, an individual who has no doubt vast experience in the classroom but none as a member of the SSTUWA executive.

The lack of classroom experience/exposure in recent years is very alarming to me. How can these two individual truly represent the interests of teachers when they have not really experienced what classroom life is like at the present.

Its time for a chnage, bring back the grass roots activism, elect individuals who will act and not obfuscate.

Encourage your friends and colleagues to join the facebook group, there is a distinct need for change in our union leaders.
