ASTI will stage a protest outside Dáil Éireann today (5 p.m.) to coincide with the start of pay negotiations between the Government and public sector unions.
An ASTI member starting in 2017 has a salary which is nearly 21% below the 2010 starting salary. The ASTI is demanding that the pay talks address the issue of unequal pay for recently qualified teachers.
All ASTI members who are available, particularly in the Dublin Region are asked to attend.
Demonstration 5 p.m. - today 17th May.
