Secondary teachers want more support and pay ahead of strike

From Checkpoint, 4:45 pm today

Secondary teachers want more support and more money as they get ready to strike again next week. The Post Primary Teachers' Association says its members voted overwhelmingly to reject an improved offer from the government. The strike is staggered, so each day until Thursday, they will refuse to teach or supervise a particular year level. But the Public Service Commission says the union is choosing strikes over students and should get back to the bargaining table. Tess Brunton reports.
