Ongoing Pay Gap Between Teachers Could Lead To Strike Action

The ongoing pay gap between teachers could lead to strike action according to the Teacher's Union of Ireland.

Their annual congress will today hear about the problems being created by different levels of pay between new teachers who entered the profession before and after 2011.

Despite government removing two salary scale points, the union says the issue continues to affect recruitment, retention and morale.

General Secretary of the TUI, John MacGabhann, says they would prefer to avoid strike action but it is a possibility.
