Teachers seeking 'substantial' pay rise - ASTI
Teachers are seeking a "substantial" pay rise due to cost of living increases, ASTI General Secretary Kieran Christie has said.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland ahead of the ASTI’s annual conference in Cork, Mr Christie said the amount being sought will be based on the outcome of negotiations under the Public Service Agreement with the Government.
However, he said the increase would be in the region of 6% to 8%, in line with cost of living increases, adding that industrial action is not being ruled out.
"We are seeking an increase in relation to pay to compensate for that [cost of living] and the truth of the matter is that the planned increases on top of the ineffectual increases we've had over the last couple of years won't cut it.
