Possible Strike Action

NZEI Te Riu Roa primary teacher members have endorsed a one-day strike on Wednesday 31 May AND a ban on meetings outside of 8.30 am - 4.30 pm from 1-30 June. However, due to a process initiated by the Minister of Education to progress Collective Agreement negotiations, any decision on moving forward with these industrial actions has been paused by the NZEI Te Riu Roa National Executive until the 30th of May.
