Employee obligations
An employee participating in protected industrial action, other than stop work action, is expected to undertake all of their normal duties, except those duties or tasks that are the subject of the protected industrial action
It is expected that employees will not discuss the merits of an industrial dispute with students or to involve them in any way in a dispute (for example, the distribution of handbills).
Meetings of parents and carers at the school are not to be used as forums for furthering the union's industrial campaign.
An employee is not to use the resources of the department, school or students to produce and/or distribute material that is not in connection with their official duties.
Only members of the Union or those represented by the bargaining representative who initiated the action are eligible to participate in protected industrial action. Should any other employee participate in industrial action, that action will be treated as unprotected industrial action.
