NSW Teachers Federation President Maurie Mulheron said the timing of the meetings was designed to minimise disruption with minimal supervision provided at every school. Teachers returned to work following the hour-long meetings.
The Teachers Federation had negotiated an offer that includes a 2.5 per cent annual increase for three years from January 1, 2017 and all current working conditions maintained in the new Award.
“The offer voted on today locks in real salary increases for three years, and the preservation of all working conditions,” NSW Teachers Federation Western Region delegate Peter Dixon said.
“We had close to 60 teachers from both primary and secondary schools attend, with overwhelming support shown on a number of issues.
“Those issues include the ongoing fight to get the final two years of the Gonski Model, fighting the 2,5 per cent capping of pay increases and a review of the Local Schools, Local Decisions initiative.”
