Welcome to new school year.

Just a note to wish all Support Staff well for the beginning of the 2011 school year.The beginning of the year will be important as far as support staff go with the process of negotiations getting underway. These will begin with Paid Union Meetings throughout the country beginning 28th February through to 11 th March. It is at these meetings you will be asked to endorse draft claims that have been formulated from your issues raised at SS Leaders meetings in November 2010. It is vital to have you ALL attend your PUM's. The importance of attendance cannot be stressed enough. So please attend and also encourage fellow Support Staff to do so as well.
