TUI votes unanimously in favour of strike action
The TUI, representing 14,500 teachers and lecturers at second and third level, said that it“condemned unreservedly” cuts at all levels of education which would have a “devastatingly adverse effect on the already impoverished system”.
Speaking in favour of the motion, which mandates the union’s executive to take industrial action up to andincluding strike action as part of their campaign against the cutbacks, former TUI president Paddy Healy said 40 years spent fighting for change at third level was now being undone by the Government.
