Qld Catholic school teachers to rally

Catholic school teachers in Queensland are preparing to rally over over what they believe is inequitable pay and increasing workloads.

The rally will take place during the Brisbane Catholic Education Conference on the Gold Coast on Friday morning as 7500 Catholic union school members stop work in their campaign for better conditions.

It will be the seventh time union members have stopped work and they are set to vote on whether to escalate their protected industrial action, Independent Education Union of Australia's Terry Burke said.
