Do you support the teachers' strike?

Hi neighbours,

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.

So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!

I called snapper at 8.3am to be told they dont know what is wrong but someone will call me back today. No call back. Rang them again at 4pm and they have no idea. So angry. They have basically robbed me of $250 and now I have to pay to get to work when I should have five weeks of travel up my sleeve. Someone needs to be made culpable and sort this mess out. 😡
