[Year 12 IT Apps] Pay Deal

[Brian Lennon]

I thought that this might be interesting to people. It's from a Sunday 
Age article comparing Vic and NSW pay scales and the gaps. The link to 
the article online is below the table.

2nd $51,584 $53,121 -$1537

3rd $51,584* $55,726 -$4142

To further get some light and thoughts on all this, I've set up a 
discussion board for Victorian Teachers at 
http://victorianteachersforum.mybb3.org/ 
<https://www.edumail.vic.gov.au/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=https://www.edumail.vic.gov.au/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://victorianteachersforum.mybb3.org/> . After 
all the talk of wage parity with NSW teachers, and the lack of publicity 
on the real outcomes of the agreement, I felt that people probably 
needed to discuss the issues somewhat more widely than in their 
individual staffrooms. I have posted the Age article from last Sunday 
giving the comparisons with NSW for different year levels - one is more 
than $13000 less than NSW counterparts. I just think that this needs 
some real debate among all teachers in Victorian schools and the AEU has 
not provided such a forum.
 
Feel free to register there, post your comments, and /_please_/ 
pass this on to other teachers in other schools who might be interested 
in reading and/or joining a discussion. If someone in any particular 
school emails it to DL /yourschool/  it should go to everyone in their 
own school. This email needs to be passed on quickly to get enough 
coverage of Victorian teachers to form a serious debate about what to do 
with this proposed 2008 agreement.
