WA teachers set to go on half-day strike next week as union rejects latest pay offer
WA's teacher union rejects a second pay and conditions offer from the state government, stoking concerns of interruptions at schools as the union threatens to forge on with a potential strike on Tuesday next week.
Just when you thought you'd made it through the holidays. 😀
I think a half-day strike is just as bad for parents than a full one. We still need to arrange for the kids to be taken care of until 12:30. Apparently we can send them in anyway, but they won't be in class and it isn't exactly supporting the teachers to do that.
I hope there is progress in the negotiations and the strike gets called off.
Teachers should be paid some of the best wages.
Does the union take on itself the teacher's pay for the hours of the strike? Maybe something like this is the reason?
