Seen around the SSTUWA
November State Council Conference was recently held at the SSTUWA’s headquarters in West Perth. State Council is the union’s supreme decision-making body, with the conference being held twice a year in June and November.
During the conference delegates also took time to support the Public Sector Alliance’s campaign to reform WA’s public sector wage policy by attending a meeting at Perth Town Hall. For full coverage of November State Council Conference, turn back to page 6 of this issue of Western Teacher.
State Council delegates gathered for the two-day event to participate in professional development and vote on motions directing the SSTUWA’s future activities.
Last month the SSTUWA also recognised members who have been with the union for 40 years at an event at the SSTUWA building, mirroring similar ceremonies held this year already across the state.
At November State Council Conference delegates heard from keynote speakers Dr Mike Newton on wellness in education, as well as AEU Victorian Branch President Meredith Peace.
The SSTUWA would like to thank these 40-year members for their long-standing commitment to bettering work conditions for their colleagues and public education.
40-year members: (Front L-R) General Secretary Mary Franklyn, President Pat Byrne, Deborah Taylor and Geraldine Hardy. (Back L-R) Rona Gartner, Richard Meagher, Rodney Cohan, Shelley Curry, John McGarrigal and Senior Vice President Matt Jarman.
