ASTI, INTO to ballot members on possible strike actionThe Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland has said it will ballot its members on possible industrial reaction. The Irish National Teachers' Organisation will do the same 'unless the Government [puts] a respectable pay offer on the table'. As if they didnt have enough time off already over the last year with teacher meetings, training and the weather. Need to wait until they come back from their holiday homes for the ballot. Never understand why people in different careers don’t fight for better conditions also rather than bash the education sector constantly. Instead of fighting, imagine the power they could generate if they all came together to fight for better conditions.
