Teachers' Union of Ireland begins industrial action over pay deal
What happened
The Teachers' Union of Ireland is commencing industrial action regarding a disagreement over a new pay deal with the Government. Members in secondary schools and institutes of further and higher education will not respond to work emails or calls outside contracted hours. This action precedes a planned nationwide strike involving over 300,000 public sector workers. The union stated that the Government has failed to make meaningful commitments on pay.
