We are consulting on changes to school strike notifications to extend the required notification of strike action.
The proposal presents three options for extending the school strike notification, including:
- no less than three working days
- no less than seven calendar days, or
- retaining the status quo of three calendar days.
The intent is to provide more time for whānau and schools to make alternative childcare and learning arrangements ahead of strike action, while still preserving the rights of teachers and other staff to strike. Consultation on the proposal closes 6 September.
