ASTI Teachers Begin Industrial Action
From today some 16,000 secondary school teachers will no long participate in after school meeting or take on any unpaid administrative work, as they begin industrial action in protest at the proposed Haddington Road Agreement.
It follows the rejection of the Agreement last week by members of the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI), who will also not co-operate with training for the new Junior Cert.
Critics of the action have said that while the initial impact is likely to be small, postponement of parent-teacher meetings for example, problems are likely to build up as these thing can not be put off indefinitely.
