It comes as the New South Wales state budget was handed down today and public sector employees only received a three per cent pay rise despite the union's ongoing calls for a bigger increase.
"This is an extraordinary moment. We are standing shoulder-to shoulder because fixing the education crisis in NSW demands no less," Independent Education Union of Australia NSW Secretary Mark Northam said.NSW Teachers Federation President Angelo Gavrielatos said the government and Catholic employers have "failed" to address the teaching crisis in the state.
"We asked the premier to reconsider his decision to cap the pay of teachers at three per cent when inflation is more than five per cent and rising. Yet, he did nothing."Thousands of Catholic school teachers also walked off the job last month demanding a 10 to 15 per cent pay rise. "Catholic diocesan school employers follow the NSW Government's lead on salaries, even though they are not legally bound by NSW Government wages policy," Northam said.
