SSTUWA member Lorena Bengough pictured in the first row, far right joins a list of union women who have participated in the annual Anna Stewart Memorial Project, affectionately called Annas.
The East Butler Primary School teacher joined 11 other women, from different WA unions, for the week-long project, which honours former Victorian union official Anna Stewart, who died in 1983.
For five days participants learnt about industrial issues affecting women, unionism and how being a union delegate can achieve positive outcomes for females in the workplace.
Read the diary of Ms Bengough’s experiences being involved in the 29th Anna Stewart Memorial Project in the February edition of Western Teacher.
We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work. We wish to pay respect to their Elders - past, present and future - and acknowledge the important role all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within Australia. We stand in solidarity.
