Bay of Plenty teachers are out in force striking today, fighting for better working conditions.
Nearly every unionised teacher across the country is doing the same for their shared goal.
Vanessa Millar has been a teacher for 19 years. She tells SunLive today’s strike has been “at least a decade” in the making.
Protesters say they plan to make their way to education minister Jan Tinetti’s office. A member of Tinetti’s staff says she is in Wellington, and won’t be there.
Vanessa says it is “disappointing” Tinetti is not making an appearance.
