ACT Teachers vs Government Timesheet Rule | Australia News

ACT education staff are in the middle of a tense standoff with the government over industrial action logging — a move the union says is an intimidation tactic disguised as workplace policy. After the Directorate abruptly demanded teachers log strikes on their timesheets without consultation, the Australian Education Union took it to the Fair Work Commission.

With strikes and walkouts already disrupting schools, the union now says the real issue is negotiating in good faith — not policing protest.
