NZEI is taking the Government to court over recent changes to funding for resource teachers. PPTA has rejected a pay offer of 1 percent a year for three years, one of the lowest offers ever made to secondary teachers. The PSA is looking to take legal action against the MBIE super-ministry over its new work-from-home policy, after mediation failed to resolve the dispute. The union for career firefighters, NZPFU, has rejected Fire and Emergency New Zealand's latest pay offer of a 5.1 percent pay increase over the next three years.
