Greens: party supports teachers strike action on Thursday

From First Up, 5:51 am on 15 March 2023

Tomorrow, nearly 50,000 teachers and principals will hold a nation-wide strike. Rallies and demonstrations are expected across the country. Our Parliament is taking a mixed view on industrial action, Labour would like to negotiate, the opposition are promising a raise for teachers every pay round and ACT is critical of a "centrally-planned wage structure". But the Green Party says they support the teachers' decision to strike. Joining us now is their co-leader Marama Davidson.
