Hugh Dellar is a teacher, course book writer, teacher trainer, and long time supporter of the TEFL Workers’ Union. He is an advocate for organising in your workplace as way to improve your contracts and protect yourself at work. Hear more about why you should join a union and get organised.
Hugh knows that we will never get what we want by asking nicely:
“The only way we will get a pay rise, rather than pay cuts in disguise…what with inflation running at 10%, and so called pay rises of 3% being presented as a good thing and not the pay cuts that they are.”
There are many benefits to being a member of a union and Hugh knows it:
“Once you are a union member there is a strength in numbers and you get a lot of external support… Through taking action we had greater leverage and we ended up getting better pay deals.”
If you’re having any problems at work and need support or if you and your workmates want better working conditions, the TEFL Workers’ Union has got your back! It’s [email protected] to speak to a rep.
