The Australian Education Union is disrupting Victoria's education system in pursuit of a 30 percent pay increase, the Minister for Education and Training, Lynne Kosky, said today.
Ms Kosky said the AEU claim, which includes a 30 per cent pay increase, would cost the tax payer $2.7 billion, which is more than one third of the annual education budget.
"The AEU is walking away from discussions at the negotiating table to take needless industrial action that will only impact on students and parents across Victoria," Ms Kosky said.
That was a year and a half ago.
Unions don't change.
