The teachers say the NSW government has failed to address unsustainable workloads, uncompetitive salaries and staff shortages.

It's the first time in almost a decade that NSW teachers have walked off the job in scenes reminiscent of the industrial turmoil of the 1980s.

"There's frustration across the teaching service and growing resentment," he told the ABC on Tuesday. Teachers seen in Hyde Park during a strike by NSW public school teachers and principals in Sydney, Tuesday, 7 December, 2021.Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said teachers have been offered a 2.5 per cent wage increase, the maximum the government can offer under its public sector wages policy, and wants to work collaboratively with the union addressing teacher shortages.

Due to planned industrial action today, significant delays are expected on Sydney Trains & NSW TrainLink Intercity services That industrial action continued on Tuesday with drivers from Sydney's southwest striking, before drivers from both regions stop work for two hours on Friday afternoon. However the union said the leaders with whom they want to negotiate have only just started coming to the table.
