All three teacher unions to ballot for strike action if vaccines not scheduled for teachers by end of school year

The Association of Secondary Teachers’ Ireland (ASTI) also supported the motion by an overwhelming majority. The joint motion before all three conferences condemns the recent changes which were announced by Government without consultation with workers’ representatives. It demands that the government re-instates education staff as a priority group within the national vaccination programme. The motion says this is necessary because of the essential nature of their work which requires them to be in daily contact with a large number of persons from a large number of households. It also noted that social distancing is problematic and not assured given the crowded nature, structure and layout of their workplaces.

How Zoom revitalised teachers unions

  It’s a dark, miserable night. You’ve been teaching all day, you came home to mark your students’ work, help your own children with their homework, cook dinner, tidy up and get ready for the next day. And now there’s a union meeting over an hour’s drive away where you’d be discussing standing orders and arguing about all the problems at work? It’s understandable that many teachers will take a hard pass. Since the Covid crisis began last year, however, those in-person meetings have all moved online – and all three unions say attendance and engagement is up significantly, with some branches have reported a fivefold increase in the numbers showing up.
