Ban on re-entering Croke Park passed

TUI delegates have voted not to re-enter any talks with the Government on the proposed successor to the Croke Park Agreement and to ballot on withdrawing from Ictu should any of its proposals be forced on teachers.

The union earlier indicated it would not be bound by a vote of the public service committee of Ictu when it considers ratification of the proposed agreement in mid-April.

Usually, if the public services committee backs a deal, those who have rejected it go along with the overall decision.
