A new deal offers big pay bumps for both new starters and experienced workers, ending a long-running standoff.
Discussions will continue on what pay increases teachers can expect for the second, third and fourth years of the deal, after the government walked back an earlier offer of 2.5 per cent annually.AAP
The union effectively rejected being locked into the subsequent increases, which it argued mirrored the former coalition government’s public-sector wage cap. If the offer is accepted, the current award will be varied and extended until October 2024, while negotiations will continue over the subsequent three-year deal.
Education Minister Prue Car said she was hopeful the new deal would be accepted so teachers could start to see more money in their pay packets. “The Minns Labor government is hopeful this agreement will be made so NSW teachers can get the pay rise they so urgently deserve,” she said.NSW Teachers Federation acting president Henry Rajendra said the proposed deal will result in better outcomes for both teachers and students.“We will attract and retain more hardworking teachers and prevent them drifting to other professions or states.”
