Poll: Do you support the 70,000 primary and secondary teachers going on strike?

Reporter Sunday Star Times

Teachers in area schools have voted to join primary and secondary teachers in New Zealand's largest-ever education strike on May 29.

The strike is the first time all teachers in the compulsory schooling sector have taken strike action simultaneously.

The teachers, who are jointly represented by primary and secondary teachers' unions NZEI Te Riu Roa and PPTA, voted to strike after four days of talks with the Ministry of Education failed to result in an offer. Read more here.
