From First Up, 5:50 am on 13 May 2019

It's being called a 'mega-strike' and is expected to be the largest ever teachers strike in New Zealand. On the 29th of May primary and secondary school teachers up and down the country will leave their classrooms. The decision comes after the two teachers' unions - the NZEI and Post Primary Teachers' Association - rejected the government's offers of more than one-point-two billion dollars over four years. Indira speaks with the President of the NZEI Lynda Stuart.
