Australian Capital Territory Educators Reject Latest Pay Offer, Plan Escalating Industrial Action

Public school educators in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) have rejected the latest pay offer from the Greens-backed Labor government and endorsed a program of escalating industrial action, beginning the week of September 21 and continuing into Term 4. This decision, made at a members' meeting on September 11, raises the possibility of further stoppages, following an earlier 24-hour strike.
