Megan White: NZEI Union Representative and Capital Kids cooperative childcare centre manager on today's strike

Early childhood teachers from around 100 centres are striking this afternoon.   Teachers that fall under the Early Childhood Education Collective Agreement are taking part.   NZEI says negotiations have reached an impasse and the government's funding model isn't fit for purpose.   Union representative and Capital Kids cooperative childcare centre manager, Megan White, told Mike Hosking that they're hopeful the incoming government will change things — which is why they're taking industrial action now.   She says early childhood issues have been quiet for some time, and kids are the ones suffering.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
