'Don't Privatise our TAFEs'

The Victorian Government is planning the most serious overhaul of our public TAFE system in recent history. These plans have serious consequences for workers in the education sector and every industry affected by vocational education. The proposals will lead to increased fees, less access to vocational training for the most disadvantaged and the privatisation of TAFE education. It will also undermine the employment conditions of those who work in TAFE.

Please help by going to the following website that allows you to send an email direct to Premier Brumby and TAFE Minister Jacinta Allen
