Labour crony Ross Wilson should butt out of teacher negotiations, ACT Education Spokesman Donna Awatere Huata said today.
"Council of Trade Unions president Ross Wilson is dreaming to think that as a mate of the Prime Minister, he can issue a command and get teachers back to school.
"Opposition MPs have been very careful not to worsen the already terrible situation by interfering, and Mr Wilson should do the same.
"The conniving cronyism between Labour and union leaders is one of the causes of this mess. Mr Wilson should butt out," Mrs Awatere Huata said.
