Queensland state school teachers set to strike for 24 hours

On Monday, the department asked the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission for help to reach an agreement.

The QTU manager came together on Monday night, and the last negotiations with the department decided that they did not result in an acceptable proposal.

Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek said the government has stayed at the negotiation table after 17 meetings over the last five months.

“Managers will inform their parents about the effects of the school community,” he said.

The current proposal includes a wage increase of 3 percent until July this year, but warned that the department Backpay depends on accepting the offer until Thursday, July 31.

In the meetings next week, teachers will discuss various decisions, including whether the future industrial action is carried out.
