On Friday (19 May), Education Minister Jan Tinetti facilitated a meeting between NZEI Te Riu Roa and PPTA Te Wehengarua with the Ministry of Education to discuss options for finding a way forward in the current stalled collective bargaining. Members have voted in a ballot for (a) a one-day strike on Wednesday 31 May, (b) a ban on meetings outside of 8.30am-4.30 from 1-30 June.

Strike action may still take place on 31 May if the National Executive and your negotiations team feel insufficient progress has been made through the new process agreed with the Minister of Education.
