Queensland Teachers Union delegates are voting this morning on whether to accept a proposed three-year pay and allowances deal offered by Education Queensland on Monday.
The new enterprise bargaining agreement offers a 2.5 per cent wage increase, plus a suite of allowances and claims for teachers, costing the Queensland government more than $1 billion over three years if accepted.
If union delegates accept the in-principle offer, a threatened strike on July 18th will be called off and teachers will instead vote over several weeks in July and August on whether to formally accept the new pay deal.
