Tasmanian teachers reject pay offer, strike this week. Public schools across Tasmania will close for one-day strikes this week as the Australian Education Union rejects the state government's latest pay proposal. The government offered three percent pay increases in years one and two, followed by 2.75 percent in year three, but the union cited unclear terms regarding workforce reduction targets. Schools in the north-west close Tuesday, the north Wednesday, and the south Thursday. Union leadership says the offer was moving in the right direction but contained unacceptable conditions, particularly language around workforce "right-sizing" that could eliminate thousands of public sector jobs by 2032.
