School Secretaries Are To Take Industrial Action Over Pay And Conditions
It follows an ongoing dispute over pay
Their union Fórsa has announced that those involved had backed striking by a margin of 94% to 6% in a national ballot.
They say it's over the Department of Education's refusal to address a two-tier pay system that leaves most earning just €12,500 a year.
The action will start from September 20th, when secretaries will engage in a short work stoppage at the start of the school day.
Barry Cunningham from Fórsa says they find themselves in difficult situations throughout the year:
