I'm striking because... I'm one of two teacher aides in a medium sized secondary school. 1 full time TA and one part time TA can't support all the students who need support.
How many students miss out when learning support funding is inadequate? Considering this problem led me to burnout in the past. #NZMegaStrike #Oct23Strike #SaveOurServices #NZPol #ProtectPayEquity
I'm striking because... The government said it would fund Learning support. They're defunding Resource Teachers of Literacy and Māori to do it.
I hear words from the government about funding learning support.... I see little to no evidence that they are anything more than words.

I'm striking because... When the government cancelled pay equity they promised we could still get pay equity through collective agreement negotiations. And they they don't negotiate in good faith.
Since I can't protest outside parliament today, I'm saying it here.
Hey Luxon! We'll be at the negotiating table when you give us a reason to be there. #NZMegaStrike #Oct23Strike #SaveOurServices #NZPol #ProtectPayEquity

The tile has a background of an image of the crowd from outside the filing at the High Court overlaid with a pink filter. In the centre of the image is a screenshot of the RNZ article with the headline “Union 'ready to fight' government on pay equity law changes” and a group photo beneath.
The message is clear: Pay equity is not optional. Livelihoods should never be on the political chopping block. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

This Government is gutting pay equity, silencing unions, and pushing women and Māori workers to the back of the queue.
Protect pay equity. Protect dignity. Protect each other.

He means “More affordable” for his tax dodging super rich donors. It’s the most obvious & egregious example of the great wealth transfer (wage theft) I have ever witnessed in my 49yrs of life. Shame on every single one of them. #TaxWealthMore #TaxWorkLess #PeopleOverProfit #ProtectPayEquity #nzpol
Join us at Parliament on Budget Day to stand up and fight back against the Government’s decision to gut the Equal Pay Act. #ProtectPayEquity
