Mary, Mary quite contrary

I'm stating the obvious, but don't believe everything you read in the papers. Well, take it with a grain of salt the size of the MCG.

We have all the papers saying the Victoria will have the highest paid teachers. Well, there is a caveat to that. You will be the highest paid if you are a first year teacher or a teacher who has been teaching for over 13 years. All others won't be. And this will change next year anyway when NSW get their pay rise.

And worst off are third year teachers who now will be thanked for having over two years of experience by being paid the same as first year teachers. Guess where I lie. Thank you so much Mary for representing me and others like me in the negotiations. That's how well we are valued, two years mean nothing.

Yes, you've been fucked over. The union leadership is too close to the employer. Because ultimately they will be wanting a safe seat, because a union job is crap. Its a nod and a wink job. But if you were a good Liberal you could have that AWA you are having wet dream about.
