1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Secondary strikes are over. This is the teachers. Obviously, the

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: p p t A union members have voted in favor

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: of the government's payoffer, and the p b t A

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: president Chris Abercrombie.

5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: Is with us. I Chris, good, Hey, how are you?

6
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm well, thank you? You happy with the deal.

7
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: We're pleased that we're going to be able to start

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: the new year in a settled environment. So that's that's

9
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: a that's a good thing.

10
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: Am I right in thinking you've managed to secure the

11
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: ability to continue to take teachers only days during term time.

12
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: Uh, well, there's still there's always existed because it's the

13
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: minister that the side's teacher any days. But yeah, so

14
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: there's no changes for the callback provisions that was in

15
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: this later settlement.

16
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: Have you lost some ability to claim expenses.

17
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: Though, are yes? So during if a teacher if a

18
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: callback days during a normal term time day, then yeah,

19
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: you won't be able to claim expenses.

20
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 1: So but you are able to do it if it's

21
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: during holidays presumably, yes, claim those expenses.

22
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, when when when the schools, when the

23
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: school is closed for instruction, yes, so.

24
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: Chris, In case it should incentivize secondary teachers to actually

25
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: take those teacher only days, the professional development during during

26
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: holiday time.

27
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: Well, it's up to schools to decide that. It's not

28
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: the teachers. Don't decide to do teacher any days in

29
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: term time. It's a minister decision or a school decision

30
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: when to do those. It's not individual teachers deciding that

31
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: good stuff.

32
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: How long before we start getting another round of this stuff?

33
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: So the our Colectuve agreement expires at the end of

34
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven, so we'll be starting our process of

35
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: claims negotiations about mid twenty twenty seven.

36
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,200
