ASTI Conference: 'ASTI has become the North Korea of the trade union movement'

The Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland is poised to reject any deal from public sector pay talks that does not fully restore pay cuts for members, despite strong criticism on its strategies to date.
A motion was overwhelmingly carried at its annual convention that mandates union leaders to strongly oppose any pay deal that does not guarantee equal pay for equal work, set a deadline for reversal of all pay cuts and end the emergency laws that have left all its members worse off than other teachers.
