Victorian teachers reject 17% pay rise, plan 24-hour strike over pay, workload, and funding.
Victorian public school teachers, represented by the Australian Education Union, have rejected a 17% pay rise over four years, calling it inadequate and rejecting the government’s offer of an 8% increase this year and 3% annual raises thereafter.
The union cites low pay compared to other states, excessive workloads, and a worsening staffing crisis, with teachers working over 12 hours of unpaid overtime weekly.
A 24-hour statewide strike is planned for next Tuesday, the first in over a decade, amid ongoing disputes over underfunding, including a $1.38 billion shortfall in Gonski school funding this year.
The government maintains the offer is strong, but union leaders argue it fails to address systemic issues undermining the education system.
