The internal poll which was conducted between May 16-22 had 3500 respondents, with 70 per cent voting 'yes' to the deal.

AEU Tasmania branch president Helen Richardson said the results showed union members had backed the deal, which was endorsed by the union on May 10.

The endorsement broke a tense 18 month battle over pay and conditions, which resulted in school closures three times across the state.

It also led to student members not recording comments on student reports or inputting attendance data into a central Education Department website.

"Rank and file teacher members have backed the position of the AEU's elected branch executive and endorsed the offer put by the state government that would deliver significant fixes to workload and pay rises of between 7.5 per cent and 8.5 per cent over three years," Ms Richardson said.

The deal has come under fire in recent weeks, with relief teachers expressing their displeasure over the details of the deal for their cohort.

Relief teachers would expect their loading to reduce by 30 per cent under the new deal, to help fund new teachers and the wage increases.

"While the majority of members have backed this deal there is no doubt understandable anger and frustration about the State Government's insistence on linking a reduction in crippling workload for primary school teachers to a reduction in relief teacher loading payments," Ms Richardson said.

Two Hobart colleges last week put forward a vote of no confidence in the union leadership over the changes to relief teacher conditions.

However, Ms Richardson put the ball squarely in the court of the government, with regard to those changes.

"Premier Will Hodgman has not yet explained why he insists on reducing loading for casual relief teachers from 180 per cent to between 130-150 per cent in order to give primary school teachers the extra time they need to plan and prepare quality classes," Ms Richardson said.

"After an almost year-long campaign, the state government is forcing teachers to choose between further school strike action and disruption or endorsing an Offer that brings urgently needed workload relief."

Member information sessions for teachers and principals are being held across the state this week and next, adding to workplace meetings already held.

The online poll results, together with feedback from member meetings, will be considered by the AEU's elected branch council members at a meeting on May 31.
