The Education Minister says they'll continue to work with unionised primary teachers, despite offering pay rises to the rest.
About ten thousand non-union primary teachers have the option to accept pay offers from today after the union's rejected three recent deals.
Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking a third of the workforce are being held up, and deserve a pay rise.
She says they'll continue to sort a deal with union in good faith.
NZEI's Liam Rutherford says the move is a deliberate breach of good faith and undermines teachers' collective bargaining.
