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.<br>

<br>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">To further get some light and thoughts
on all this, I've set up a discussion board for Victorian Teachers at </font><a
href="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/"
target="_blank"><font face="Arial" size="2">http://victorianteachersforum.mybb3.org/</font></a><font
face="Arial" size="2"> . 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. </font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Feel free to register there, post your
comments, and <em><u>please</u></em>
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 <em>yourschool</em> it should go to
everyone in their own school. This email needs to be passed on quickly
to get enough </font><font face="Arial" size="2">coverage of Victorian
teachers to form a serious debate about what to do with this proposed
2008 agreement.<br>
