ASTI members have voted by 95% to 5% to take industrial action, up to and including strike action, over the Government’s failure to negotiate a meaningful public service pay deal that addresses the cost of living crisis for teachers.
Up to 20,000 second-level teachers who are members of the ASTI will begin initial industrial action involving withdrawal from selected activities such as the Croke Park Hours from Monday, October 5th.
The ASTI has made the decision to join the coordinated industrial action alongside other public service unions affiliated to the Irish Congress of Trade Unions.
In addition, ASTI members will participate in a public-service-wide day of strike action on Wednesday, October 14th, with pickets placed on all second-level schools where ASTI members teach.
