Episode Details

Victorian teachers face a critical vote on a four-year pay deal offering between 28% and 32% wage increases over four years, following their first statewide strike in 13 years. While the Australian Education Union has endorsed the agreement affecting 80,000 principals, teachers and support staff, rebel groups are campaigning for a no vote, arguing the deal undervalues their work and particularly disadvantages education support staff. The dispute centres on wages, class sizes, meeting times and teacher workload issues that remain unresolved in the proposed agreement.
