Public school teachers reject 28 per cent pay rise offer

Teachers in Victoria's government schools rejected a 28 per cent pay rise offer from the state Labor government on Friday. A ballot conducted by the Australian Education Union showed 57.7 per cent of approximately 60,000 members opposed the proposal, which fell short of their demand for 35 per cent over three years. Calls for further industrial action are expected.
