Herald Sun: Teachers strike closing one-third of schools
MORE than 10,000 teachers have overwhelmingly endorsed a resolution to continue statewide strike action in their fight for better pay.
As many as 25,000 teachers across Victoria walked off the job today as the stalemate continues in wage talks with the state government.
More than a third of those striking teachers packed rally meetings in Melbourne and Mildura today, endorsing the resolution which proposes a continued campaign of rolling regional stopwork action.
More than half of the state’s 39,000 public teachers have walked off the job today, with 12,000 expected at Vodafone Arena for the 10.30am rally.
