Green Left: Victorian TAFE teachers to strike
Victorian TAFE teachers voted on July 18 to take 24-hour strike action on August 20 in support of better pay and conditions after negotiations with the Victorian TAFE Association stalled.
The association wants separate agreements with each TAFE institution, which the Australian Education Union has rejected. The AEU wants a single agreement across the sector and served its log of claims, including a 10% annual pay rise for each of the three years during the life of the agreement, to the TAFE Association last August. The demands include a pay claim of $75 per hour and job security improvements for casual teachers.
