The Queensland Teachers Union has rejected the latest enterprise bargaining agreement from the state government, the marking the complete rejection of the first round offering.

 

“DETE representatives stated that the government offer is a package; there can be no attributable salary increase for the work that teachers currently perform. The increase on offer is subject to the implementation of the government’s reform agenda,” the union said in a statement.

 

The Government is currently offering the state’s teachers a 2.7 per cent increase a year. Under the offer, graduate teachers will earn up to $61,636 per annum, classroom teachers up to $90,238 and principals up to $147,981 a year.
