ASTI to seek 15% pay hike independent of ICTU
The Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) is poised to discuss another independent pay claim at its annual convention in a fortnight.
A ballot of the 16,500 members last month resulted in the union’s return to ICTU, having left during its controversial industrial dispute in 2000. The dispute centred around the ASTI’s claim for a 30% pay rise, pursued independently of the wider trade union movement which negotiated salary increases through the social partnership model.
