WA's teacher union rejects a second pay and conditions offer from the state government, stoking concerns of interruptions at schools as the union threatens to forge on with a potential strike on Tuesday next week.

Just when you thought you’d made it through the holidays. 😀

I think a half-day strike is just as bad for parents than a full one. We still need to arrange for the kids to be taken care of until 12:30. Apparently we can send them in anyway, but they won’t be in class and it isn’t exactly supporting the teachers to do that.

I hope there is progress in the negotiations and the strike gets called off.
