New South Wales teachers strike for the first time in a decade

Описание: New South Wales public school teachers and principals across the state have walked off the job as part of unprecedented strike action across the state.

There were thousands of education staff in attendance at the rally which started in Hyde Park and made its way to Macquarie Street.

Strikers have blocked off the road outside New South Wales parliament and are calling for better pay and conditions for workers.

This marks the first time teachers have taken action in a decade, seeking a five to 7.5 per cent pay rise annually but Premier Dominic Perrottet is not moving from his cap of a 2.5 per cent rise.
