SECONDARY TEACHERS have been advised by their union to reject the Croke Park deal in order to maintain teacher self-esteem and protect working conditions.
The Association of Secondary Teachers, Ireland (ASTI) has issued a lengthy bulletin to members outlining the case against the Croke Park deal on public service pay and reform.
The union’s 18,000 members have until May 20th to return their postal ballot. The union has unanimously recommended that members should reject the deal.
The Teachers Union of Ireland is also recommending rejection, but the Irish National Teachers Organisation has advised members to back the deal.
