Teachers strike: Growing concern as negotiations continue

From Checkpoint, 5:11 pm on 15 June 2023

The Ministry of Education and the Post Primary Teachers Association are back at the bargaining table today, as concern grows among parents. 

After the last pay offer was rejected, industrial action ramped back up this week with union members refusing to teach two year levels per day, except on Fridays, for the remainder of the term.

Last night we brought you the story of a Hamilton parent who's launched a petition calling for an immediate halt to rolling strikes.

So how long can this go on? PPTA acting president Chris Abercrombie spoke to Lisa Owen.
