MORE than 1800 north-west teachers have vowed to continue lobbying for better working conditions and pay.
A rally outside Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Andrew Elsbury’s Keilor office on Friday was part of a series of rolling strikes.
St Albans Primary School principal Joanne Richmond said most teachers attended the protest.
“We have a hugely socioeconomically disadvantaged community. We want teachers to work together as a team to improve learning outcomes, not to be competing against each other for a pay rise.”
Negotiations broke down on November 22 after Premier Ted Baillieu refused to respond to the education union’s revised salary offer.
Teachers have lowered their demand from a 30 per cent pay increase over three years to 13 per cent.
