周四，维州将有逾170所公立学校关闭，数千名教师、校长和后勤工作人员将举行罢工。
上周，联邦法庭驳回了州府要求法院叫停此次罢工的申请，称州府未能提供有力的证据证明拟行的劳工行动不只未受保护，而且不合法规。
周四，来自172所学校的逾3万名教职工将离开工作岗位，为自己争取合理的加薪协议。去年9月份的大规模罢工中，约400所公校全部关闭。
澳洲教育工会（AEU）维州分会的主席Meredith Peace称，每一所公校都将受到影响。“我们的成员表示，他们对于州府放任薪资纠纷迁延如此之长的时间非常地失望和愤怒。我们认为，此次罢工的规模或将与去年9月份的一样大，甚至有可能更大规模。”
Peace称，虽然这一薪资纠纷已经让教师们身心俱疲，但是他们将一直努力至州府愿意提供合理的加薪为止。此前，工会要求百鲁政府践行选战承诺，在未来3年为教师加薪30%，但现在已经将要求降至12.6%，但政府却仍只愿意提供2.5%的基本加薪，外加绩效奖金。
周四，很多学校仍将开放，但只有基干工作人员（skelton staff）。预计天主教学校也有近3500名教职工参加此次罢工。
上周六，维州教育厅投放广告，称在周四的罢工行动中，学校须履行其义务，保证学生得到照看。 以下公校将于周四停课： Traralgon South Primary School
