'Underpaid, overworked': Thousands of teachers go on strike in Victoria
Protesters hold placards during the rally. Tens of thousands of public school teachers, principals, and education support staff have gathered in Melbourne’s CBD as part of a statewide strike over an ongoing wage dispute with the Victorian Government. Organised by the Australian Education Union, the protest marks the first 24-hour strike in 13 years, with participants marching from Trades Hall to Parliament House. The union is pushing for a 35 per cent pay rise over four years, arguing Victorian teachers are underpaid compared to other states, after rejecting the government’s 17 per cent offer.
