Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Teachers bunking off tomorrow shouldn’t be paid
14 MARCH 2019 The New
Zealand Taxpayers' Union is calling on the
Minister of Education to confirm that teachers who 'strike'
with students at tomorrow's climate protests won't be paid
for their time bunking off.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Taxpayers’ Union spokesman Louis Houlbrooke says, “People will have varying opinions on the protest’s merit, but what’s certain is that we don’t fund teachers to engage in political activism during school hours. The Education Minister needs to reassure taxpayers that teachers in the public system who bunk off with students tomorrow won’t be paid for it, just as they wouldn’t be paid on any other strike day.”
