This is the first time that I have joined a union. I chose TEU because when I asked around, I was told that this was a strong union that works hard to support its members.
Colleen De Vore
The union has always been part of my life. I have the confidence that TEU is there to support me and I do not have to stand alone to ensure my working conditions are safe and reasonable and remuneration is fair.
Fred Potini
I joined TEU because it is a national union with a large membership. It is well resourced with specialist personnel, and it has strong presence in most tertiary organisations in New Zealand.
Robyn McRae-Aoake
I was informed of TEU two weeks after starting my position and decided to join as I thought there may be a time when I needed TEU. That time came and the support given by TEU staff was outstanding.
Sally Boyd
Through our involvement with TEU my organisation has maintained great working conditions for all staff as shown by our strong collective employment agreement.
Kia ora!
The TEU is the union for all staff; everybody who works in tertiary education, including polytechnics, teacher education, universities, wānanga and private training institutions, REAPs and OTEPs. We are a democratic organisation and we stand up together for what we believe in.
Because we are stronger together
Together we are a stronger voice for all tertiary education workers and the important role we play for students and the wider community.
We believe in working hard for the students in our institutions, and being respected and paid fairly for that work.
We believe in a high quality, public education system that that gives everyone a chance, and helps to build a strong economy and strong communities.
We are part of the New Zealand union movement and we believe in working people working together to make things fairer and better for everyone.
