Teachers' Conferences: Strike threat as action urged to restore pay

Primary teachers seeking pay restoration should go on strike to secure a rise in their wages, according to a motion yesterday at the Irish National Teachers Organisation (INTO) annual congress.

The proposal directed the union’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) to enter immediate discussions with other public service unions and use any means necessary, including industrial action, to secure pay restorations on the expiration of the Haddington Road Agreement.
