Secondary teachers reject latest pay offer

From Midday Report, 12:12 pm on 9 June 2023

Secondary teachers have voted overwhelmingly to reject the Education Ministry's latest pay offer - which brings more disruption to students with strikes from next week. 

The Post Primary Teachers Association says its members voted against the offer of three pay rises over two years plus a $4500 payment.

The union says from Monday its members will refuse to teach two year levels per day, except on Fridays, for the remaining three weeks of the school term.

Chris Abercrombie is the PPTA Te Wehengarua acting president, he speaks with Charlotte Cook.
