It's all go on a teaching mega-strike tomorrow, despite eleventh hour meetings between unions and the Education Ministry. About 50,000 kindergarten, primary and secondary teachers and principals are walking off the job nationwide. NZEI President Mark Potter says the primary teachers' negotiation team and the Ministry discussed a wide range of teacher claims yesterday. He says discussions were worthwhile but no offer was tabled. Education Minister Jan Tinnetti says she feels progress is being made. "I have met with both unions, I know that my officials have told me that they've met with both of the unions, and they feel like we're moving in the right direction. I'm really positive we're going to get there very soon." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
