Teachers all over he country will be picketing in front of
MP’s offices this morning marking 6th months since the Novopay
system was brought in.
NZEI national secretary, Paul Goulter, says teachers will be
outside schools and National MPs' offices as a reminder that the issues haven't
been resolved.
He said "It's unacceptable six months on, the six month
anniversary of Novopay, that the problems just seem to be getting worse.''

Otago Polytechnic could become the country’s first Fairtrade
campus after the governing body voted unanimously to adopt Fairtrade policies.
''Otago Polytechnic has the opportunity to become the first
polytechnic in New Zealand to become a fair trade member and be recognised as a
fair trade supporter,'' Jean Tilleyshort said.
Several further steps must be taken before the polytechnic
can gain ''fair trade'' status: including setting up a steering group to set
and monitor goals, committing to selling fair trade products, and selling fair
trade tea, coffee, sugar and chocolate drinks and bars at its sales outlets.
