“It continues to be the QTU’s preference to reach an agreement with the government, however, we are firm in our resolve that we will keep campaigning.” The union said more than 60 per cent of members had their say before the window closed at 2pm on Friday, and of those who voted, two-thirds rejected the offer. The rejected offer included an 8 per cent wage increase over three years, attraction and retention measures, and new pay brackets. Senior teachers would be paid $135,000, and first-year teachers just over $90,000. The offer also introduced measures to combat occupational violence, including a new workplace strategy and workplace health and safety taskforce.
