Pollies: MPs Erica Stanford and Megan Woods agree arbitration best way forward for teacher pay dispute

National is welcoming possible arbitration between the secondary teachers' union and the Ministry of Education. Education Spokesperson Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking a resolution to the secondary teachers' pay dispute and an end to the industrial action is long overdue. “You have to feel for those kids who have missed so much school.” Associate Finance Minister Megan Woods told Mike Hosking arbitration is the best way forward. “One of the things we’re struggling with, is we’re with a group of people that haven’t had a payrise in the previous decade for a very long time.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
