As a teacher who entered the profession in 2013, I have spent my career watching unions trade the long-term professional standing of their members for “easy” wins that offer little substance.

We are now being asked to accept the updated senior cycle redevelopment implementation support measures and its latest addendum. Before accepting these measures, teachers must look at the reality of what is being offered.
