Video: Hawke's Bay teachers' join nationwide strike action

Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary School teachers', representing two unions, were out in force in Hawke's Bay as part of a nationwide strike. 

The New Zealand Educational Institute (NZEI) represents primary school teachers and kindergartens, while the Post Primary Teachers Association (PPTA) represents secondary school teachers.

Each union is lobbying for slightly different terms for their next collective agreement contracts. But they all want salary offers which meet inflation and encourage educators to stay in the industry.
