E-scéal 226 - Work-to-Rule - Seeking Clarification
- Published: 09 March 2010
At IPPN’s National Committee meeting last Saturday, a discussion took place relating to the ‘Work-to-Rule’ directives and their impact on schools. It emerged that there is a lack of clarity and widespread confusion as to the substance and status of various union directives issued in recent months.
In order to achieve clarity on matters that will affect your school community, we have contacted the INTO seeking a meeting. In the meantime, we ask you to consider the issues relating to the ‘Work-to-Rule’ that you would like to have clarified for your Board of Management, staff and parents.
Please send your questions to support@ippn.ie by Wednesday 10th March at 4.00pm.
