## Resource

Victorian teachers strike again for the second time this year, rejecting a pay deal that offered a 28% raise over four years — not because they’re unwilling to earn more, but because they’re drowning under an extra 12 unpaid hours a week. The Australian Education Union demands a shorter, three-year agreement and real relief from crushing workloads, arguing that money alone can’t fix teacher shortages or burnout. The government says the rejected offer would make Victorian teachers the highest paid in Australia — but union leaders say it’s not enough. This marks the first major strike in 13 years, echoing the massive March rally of 35,000 educators — and families are paying the price with school closures. Talks continue, but tensions are high as both sides dig in. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
