NSW teachers to strike on Wednesday after failed bid by government to placate union over pay rises

ABC  

Teachers across New South Wales will still walk off the job tomorrow, despite an 11th-hour attempt by the state government to placate the union over pay rises. Key points: The NSW Teachers Federation remains committed to striking on Wednesday Wage increase negotiations have been postponed until after June's state budget Schools will have minimal supervision or will be non-operational during the strike Education Minister Sarah Mitchell this morning announced the government had delayed the negotiations on wages until after June's state budget. Premier Dominic Perrottet had foreshadowed the government's long-standing 2.5 per cent public sector wage cap may be scrapped in the budget, but the wage policy to potentially replace it has yet to be finalised. The NSW Teachers Federation remains committed to its strike tomorrow, claiming the government is only offering a vague commitment to change the wage policy.
