Victorian teachers reject 32% pay rise, threaten strikes
Published 2 days, 19 hours ago
Description
Victorian public school teachers have rejected a government pay offer of up to 32% over four years, with 57.7% of nearly 60,000 teachers voting against the deal despite union leadership initially supporting it. The rejected offer would have cost the Victorian government an additional $4.6 billion over four years. Teachers are now threatening mass walkouts and industrial action in Term 3, including banning politicians from schools, as negotiations remain stalled between the Australian Education Union and Education Minister Ben Carroll.
