What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Talks between the government and public sector unions have broken down following the rejection of a proposed 6.75% pay increase over three years by the unions. Linda Kelly, general secretary of the Irish National Teachers' Organisation, stated that the government's offer was not credible and was well below inflation. As a result, a 24-hour shutdown is scheduled for November 12.
