[Year 12 IT Apps] Pay Deal

Thu May 22 12:04:12 EST 2008

I believe if we all stuck together, united with the union, then and only
then could we have received a better deal. For the first time, our
campus stayed open as support for the strike was thin. How can we ask
for top of anything when minimal action happens?

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.

Years teaching
.....Victoria ..... NSW ..Gap

1st $51,184 $50,522 +$662

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

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

4th $52,643* $58,331 -$5688

5th $55,686* $60,933 -$5247

6th $57,273* $63,536 -$6263

7th $58,906 * $66,137 -$7231

8th $60,585* $68,744 -$8159

9th $62,312* $75,352 -$13,040

10th $64,554 $75,352 -$10798

11th $66,556 $75,352 -$8796

12th $68,619* $75,352 -$6733

13th $75,500* $75,352 +$148

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.ed
umail.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.

Hi All,

I know this is off-topic, but I thought you'd find it interesting. This
has been passed to many school principals - Surely it will disappoint
many.

I won't send anymore about it, as it isn't quite related to the core
business of the mailing list.

In short:

The key features of the agreement are:

Four salary increases effective from the first pay period on or after:

4.9% - 1 May 2008

2.71% - 1 January 2009

2.71% - 1 January 2010

2.71% - 1 January 2011

Lump sum payment  on commencement of the agreement:

$2,000 - Principal Class

$1,500 - Leading Teacher range 2

$1,000 - Classroom teacher (with the exception of E-2, E-1 G-2 and G-1)
