澳洲早期学习联盟(Early Learning Association Australia,ELAA)代表了非盈利幼儿园的利益。该协会的主席Shane Lucas表示,工会上周拒绝了为所有员工加薪2.4%的提议,之前的提议为加薪2.25%。据悉,按照这一加薪幅度,幼儿园的教师将在2018年年中拿到与小学同行同样的薪水。
但工会要求为新员工加薪5%,为绝大多数有资历的教师加薪9%。Lucas称,ELAA也向工会提交了一份关于教师工作量的独立研究和一项新的员工叙级制度。
维州地方市府联盟(Municipal Association of Victoria)的主席Bill McArthur证实,隶属于24个市府的托儿中心不会受到此次罢工的影响。
