Labour's new education spokesperson says giving non-unionised educators pay increases will divide teachers further.
Boards can now make individual employment offers to non-NZEI primary teachers after the union rejected three recent deals.
Ginny Andersen told Ryan Bridge it undermines existing bargaining and teachers would get more under the collective if it kept being negotiated.
She says this is a short-cut that gives them less money and not as good conditions.
Ginny Andersen took over the portfolio in Labour's shadow Cabinet reshuffle yesterday, replacing Willow-Jean Prime.
