Leighton Watson: Senior Lecturer of maths and statistics on PPTA members are voting on teacher pay offer
New comparisons show teacher salaries have plummeted relative to the minimum wage.
PPTA members are voting on a new Government pay offer, while primary teachers have decided to reject their latest offer.
Canterbury University maths lecturer Leighton Watson's done a comparison of teachers' pay with the minimum wage.
He told Ryan Bridge a beginning teacher was paid $33 thousand in 1999, and now they get $64 thousand.
Watson says it seems like a great increase, but if they got paid the same now, relative to the minimum wage, it would be $100 thousand.
