US EditionQueensland Teachers to Strike
QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA, AUG 5 – More than 50,000 Queensland public school teachers strike over pay, workloads, and safety amid unresolved negotiations and chronic understaffing, disrupting education for 570,000 students.
- On Wednesday, more than 50,000 Queensland school teachers will strike, marking the first such action in 16 years.
- Last month, the Queensland Teachers Union's 48,000 members voted almost unanimously to call a series of 24-hour strikes after over 17 negotiations failed to renew the June 30 enterprise bargaining agreement.
- Skeleton staffing at 1,266 schools will leave about 560,000 students without full classes during the strike.
- Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek said schools will remain open with supervision during the strike, and teachers who participate will not be paid.
- Beyond Queensland, the Save Our Schools Australia group estimates public schools are underfunded by $1.7 billion this year, while private schools are vastly overfunded.
