Ministry of Education Statement on PPTA announcement
"We are surprised the PPTA is already
threatening strike action next year as they still have four
days of agreed bargaining on behalf of their members ahead
of them before the end of the year, and the Ministry is
ready to schedule more," says Ministry Deputy Secretary
Ellen MacGregor-Reid.
The Ministry of Education and the Post Primary Teachers’ Association are scheduled to resume pay talks next week - 27 and 28 November.
"We are focused on doing everything we can to settle these negotiations and minimise disruption for students and parents - and we look forward to progressing talks with the PPTA next week."
