maybe, but enterprise bargaining started 2 years ago now and this decision has been in front of the industrial relations comission who are supposedly independent of the government, so i think the government would be relieved by this rather than the orcastrators of it. only 5 months out of that two years will be backpayed, so imagine how much the government saved in that alone.

but it works out that we get 4% now, 4% in october and 4% next october (+ the 3.75% that we got as an interim pay rise last year). At least now we might have some sort of parity with other states teachers.

will be interesting today too see if all of the other changes we were fighting for occur - like capping class sizes and ensuring no school is worse off under the governments new funding system, but a good, if a little belated, result nonetheless.
