Strike One!

Secondary teachers around the country took industrial action today in support of their (stalled) pay talks.

It is not the first time PPTA has engaged in such direct action, and it almost certainly won't be the last!

Indeed, I remember being involved in such action during the 1980s. And attending today's rally at Parliament, I was surprised at the number of faces I remember from those events, still fighting the good fight!

Needless to say, I was there to show solidarity (and to take some photos).

Stuff covered the events, as did TVOne and TV3.
