Teachers On Strike!
Teachers all across NZ are on a strike for a better payment on Wednesday 15th August 2018.
What is a strike? A strike is "a refusal to work organized by a body of employees as a form of protest, typically in an attempt to gain a concession or concessions from their employer."
So what do teachers want? There's at least 3000 Christchurch teachers calling for a 16 percent pay rise over two years, and improved working conditions.
Why do they want it? Teachers don`t get payed enough for what they do because of the long hours they work and how it affects their life. People who`d like to be a teacher wouldn't because the pay is too low. So that means that there won't be any new teachers for the future.
I think that teachers should get payed fairly and get more time to spend with their families.
