Teachers vote to strike over Covid-19

More than two thirds of teachers in the state voted to strike when face-to-face classes resume on February 2.

Australian Education Union SA branch president Andrew Gohl told the ABC, teachers need a safe learning environment for both students and staff. “Other issues include leave provisions, particularly for those who are vulnerable, and working from home arrangements for those vulnerable workers as well, and particularly those workers that may be going home to family members that may be immunocompromised.”The government‘s current back to school plan opens up schools from January 31 for children of essential workers.

The Australian Education Union will meet with the state government on Tuesday to negotiate the ongoing safety of students after it previously advocated for a two-week delay in the start of the school year.

By eastern states you mean NSW and the government hoarding of rats - most other schools on east don’t have access to those that easily either

teachers all over the World are back in their classroom.

Just get on with it 🤦‍♂️

so if the virus is deadly and we have restrictions to protect the public than teachers should be protected. but if its safe to work around children while you carry the virus than whats the fuss about ? why vaccination needed? 🤔why rat? why masks?

Welp, this will upset the wingnuts. A reminder of your contradicting hypocrisy: Protesting against lockdowns, masks & mandates. Thumbs up, support our choices! Protesting against a safe environment. Thumbs down. Sack them! Another reminder:

Sack those that don’t turn up to work.

AUSMAT heads to remote NT community as COVID-19 cases grow among Indigenous TerritoriansAn Australian Medical Assistance Team and the military have been sent to a remote NT Aboriginal community to combat a growing COVID-19 outbreak. The most severely ill are being transferred to Howard Springs. Good to see sbs reporting this. We want to know. We are very concerned to be perfectly honest, given the federal government's response to the pandemic i wouldn't blame anyone if they preferred medical and military personnel from A DIFFERENT COUNTRY because then they'd be more likely to get any actual assistance or medical care.
