Bulletin 10 - reminder to vote - issued 17 September 2024

The ballot for the proposed Northern Territory Public Sector Educators’ 2024-2027 Enterprise Agreement PDF (1.1 MB) closes at 10.30am on Thursday 19 September 2024.

If you haven’t already voted then I encourage you to take part in this ballot by casting your vote.

All employees are entitled to vote.  You do not have to be a union member to participate in the ballot.

Make your vote count

If majority of employees who vote, vote YES, and the agreement is approved by the Fair Work Commission, the significant wage increases and improvements to terms and conditions of employment for employees will be implemented. Bulletin 5 sets out a summary of the offer.

Every vote is important and can make a difference, and I encourage you to take part in this ballot by casting your vote.

If the vote isn’t supported the current agreement will continue to apply, and the wage increases and other improvements cannot be passed on.

I will advise employees of the ballot result via a Bulletin and a notice on the enterprise bargaining website for the NTPS non-contract principals, teachers and assistant teachers enterprise agreement negotiations.
