The Tertiary Education Union says that the national training organisation Te Pukenga has never been funded well enough to achieve its aims.

Te Pukenga is proposing to cut about 950 jobs in a major overhaul, resulting in a net loss of 404 full-time equivalent staff.

Daniel Benson-Guiu is an organiser for the Tertiary Education Union and spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
