November 14, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett public school teachers took part in after-school rallies on Thursday as part of a long-running pay dispute with the State Government.<\/p>\n

The rallies, held outside of school hours, were organised by the Queensland Teachers’ Union (QTU) instead of a 24-hour strike.<\/p>\n

At the end of October, union members across Queensland voted to reject an 8 per cent pay rise offered by the government.<\/p>\n

Prior to the vote, Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek had described the pay offer as “historic”.<\/p>\n

“Every teacher currently in Queensland classrooms by the end of this agreement will be earning at least $100,000,” Minister Langbroek said.<\/p>\n

“Senior teachers will be earning $135,000, and principals more than $200,000, so it’s a significant pay increase.”<\/p>\n

Also included was a $1000 attraction and retention payment for regional areas.<\/p>\n

The QTU put the offer to members but it was rejected by 67 per cent of those who voted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We continue to call on this government to provide fair pay and working conditions that value teachers and school leaders, address the teacher shortage crisis, and keep us safe at work,” a QTU statement said on Friday.<\/p>\n

“Thank you to every member who took the time to participate in rallies and activities, ensuring a huge show of solidarity and determination.”<\/p>\n

The State Government’s pay offer followed a short strike by teachers in August.<\/p>\n

The QTU has not ruled out holding further strikes although the Enterprise Bargaining dispute may now go to arbitration<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
