Solidarity, kotahitanga, is what is required in the face of this government that is trying to rip apart free quality public education under Urgency and poor nonsultation.

But most of all, I will not abandon our fellow NZEI Te Riu Roa members, the support staff and primary principals, who have also rejected the latest offers made to them over the last two weeks.

The fact that the Public Services bargaining team insisted the process be completed by Friday 19 December, meaning NZEI Te Riu Roa could not run PUMs and school staff meetings could not happen screamed bad faith bargaining.

The fact the NZEI negotiation team was told to present this offer with neutral language or it would be taken back and a poorer offer (although this one is bad enough) put in its place screams bad faith bargaining.

There is so much more to this offer that I reject to that I have already voted NO this morning.
The fact this offer was timed to the day schools began closing for the year was cynical and screamed bad faith bargaining.

Groups within primary teachers like relievers, Resource Teachers, special school teachers, etc, have not had their claims even glanced at by this offer.

The pay offer is under inflation and won't even kick in until the end of January, and we won't actually be paid it until March. There's no member only benefit because this government hates unions and the fact we choose to belong. Te Tiriti is not recognised.

Primary teachers are being asked today to vote on an offer from the Public Services Commissioner.
It is a poor offer. There is nothing for our students, nothing for workload.
