More than 20 thousand secondary teachers are walking off the job today to strike over the lowest pay increase offer in a generation.
Post-Primary Teachers Association members will picket outside dozens of schools and MP offices after rejecting a 3% pay increase over three years.
Opposition Leader Chris Hipkins told John MacDonald teachers deserve more than the Government's offering.

Hipkins says they at least deserve a pay increase that keeps them at the level they鈥檙e at now.
