Historic teacher strike brings Victoria to a standstill
Published 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
35,000 Victorian teachers have walked off the job in the state's largest teacher strike in history, affecting 500 schools across the state. The industrial action centres on a pay dispute, with the Australian Education Union demanding a 35 per cent pay rise while the state government is offering 18.5 per cent. Teachers marched 1.7 kilometres from Trades Hall to Parliament House in their first strike action in 13 years, leaving many parents scrambling to arrange childcare.
