An indefinite strike involving over 2,000 school secretaries and caretakers threatens continued disruption to school operations and increases the risk of school closures. Principals' representatives describe the situation as impossible and stress the need for urgent resolution. The dispute centers on demands for a pension and improved leave entitlements for the striking staff. Prolonged industrial action could impede administrative functions, facility maintenance, and pupil supervision. Rapid negotiation and agreement on pension and leave issues are necessary to restore staffing stability and prevent escalating operational risks to schools and education services.
'It's an impossible situation,' says Paul Crone, director of the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals, of indefinite strike action
There is a risk of school closures the longer an indefinite strike by over 2,000 secretaries and caretakers continues, principals' representatives have warned.
Paul Crone, director of the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals, said a dispute over the striking staff's demands for a pension and better leave entitlements needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
