Terms of Settlement for the Kaiarahi i te Reo, Therapists', ATSSD and Special Education Assistants' Collective Agreement reached After prolonged negotiations and a dedicated effort from your negotiation team, a settlement for the Kaiarahi i te Reo, Therapists’, ATSSD and Special Education Assistants’ Collective Agreement was finally reached.  This was by no means an easy settlement and members are to be congratulated for their continual pressure and activity resulting in the government moving from their original 0% offer to the settlement below.  The key points of the proposed settlement are: A term from 27 January 2010 until 31 March 2011. A 1.4 % pay increase for Kaiarahi i te reo and ATSSD rates from January 27 2010. A 1% pay increase for therapists, plus an additional top step from 27 January 2010. An increase to the minimum pay for Special Education Assistants From 27 January 2010, a new 2 step scale will apply for Special Education Assistants, with the new steps being Step 1 - $29,120 and Step 2 - $30,410. A newsletter detailing the settlement will be sent to members this week.  Members covered by the KRCA area asked to vote on the settlement and return their ballot no later than Friday 26th March at 12 noon.
