Primary, secondary and kindergarten teachers are striking this week as they look for a pay offer that meets inflation at 7.2% and makes concessions around staffing issues - in particular, student to teacher ratios.

Type NFP alongside your comments if you don't wish these to be shared in the We Say You Say column of the local paper.
