Victorian teachers have called off their planned strike, but council workers are pressing ahead with what's being hailed as a "historic" industrial action. The teachers' union, the Australian Education Union (AEU), announced the cancellation of the strike after reaching a last-minute agreement with the state government. However, thousands of council workers in Melbourne and other parts of Victoria are set to go on strike today, demanding better pay and working conditions. The workers, who are members of the Municipal Services Union and the Australian Services Union, claim that their wages have not kept pace with inflation, leaving them struggling to make ends meet.
