Teachers Walk Out, Closing Hundreds of Victoria Schools

Australian Education Union stages 24-hour action in Melbourne, closing about 500 public schools as up to 35,000 rally for pay and conditions

Victorian public school teachers staged a 24-hour strike in Melbourne, closing about 500 schools as up to 35,000 people rallied for improved pay and conditions. The Australian Education Union said more than 32,000 members took part, calling it the first statewide teachers’ strike in 13 years. Major city roads closed and tram and bus services were disrupted during the march from Trades Hall to Parliament House, and union leaders warned of further action.

In U.S. higher education, a strike at Portland Community College in Oregon continues into a second week as faculty and staff seek wage increases to match inflation, with the college saying it needs an agreement to keep the spring term on track. In Virginia, Democrats passed Senate Bill 378 to expand collective bargaining for public employees, but the measure excludes faculty and graduate workers at public colleges and universities. Together, these developments underscore parallel labor actions and policy moves shaping education workforces in Australia and the United States.

Key Insight

Education labor actions spanned Australia and the United States, affecting K-12 systems and colleges while bargaining rules face legislative change.
