Victoria's school teachers are set to become the highest paid in the country following a year-long bargaining process and a union rebellion within the Australian Education Union. The teachers' salaries will rise 28.3% to 32.4% over four years, with a total pay increase of between 28.3% and 32.4% and a $2,000 bonus at the start of the agreement.
Despite the union's initial opposition, members voted 79% in favour of the offer, effectively sealing the deal. The Australian Education Union (AEU) confirmed that a planned strike will not go ahead on Wednesday.
