Live: Teachers on 'mega strike' over deadlocked pay pay dispute
Primary and secondary teachers across New Zealand are going on a "mega strike" today, the country's largest-ever
industrial action.
Members of the two teachers' unions - NZEI and the Post Primary Teachers' Association - are striking after refusing to
settle for three pay rises of 3 percent each. Talks with the Education Ministry have been deadlocked for months and the
government has insisted it will not increase the total value of its offers, which it said were more than $1.2 billion
over four years.
