Catholic school teachers in Queensland who have staged their latest stoppage are showing no signs of backing down, a union leader warns.
The teachers, who argue they are overworked and underpaid, met on Thursday to decide about further industrial action after seven months of fruitless negotiations and stoppages.
"We are where we are because the employers have been consistently rejecting the position the employees have been putting on the table," Independent Education Union of Australia state secretary Terry Burke said.
"I can't see employees accepting the rejection now."
Mr Burke said employers have dragged negotiations out for seven months and there was no sign of them abating.
The Queensland Catholic Education Commission, who met with union members on Tuesday, said it was "disappointed" about suggestions the stoppages would continue next week.
The commission said it continues to bargain "in good faith".
