NI Teachers To Strike Over Pay
Teachers in counties Fermanagh and Tyrone are set to take strike action on Tuesday, 31 January, over a pay dispute.
Members of the National Association of Schoolmasters/Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT) will take part in the strike in schools across L'Derry, Strabane, Mid Ulster, Fermanagh and Tyrone.
It follows strike action in schools throughout Belfast and Newtownabbey on 30 November last year.
Chris Keates, General Secretary of the NASUWT, said: "It is with deep regret that we remain in this positon, but we have been left with no choice by the blatant disregard of the Minister for Education and the employers for the pay and conditions of service of teachers who provide such a vital public service.
"We have continued to make clear to the Minister that strike action can be avoided if there is an improvement on the 0% pay award for 2015/16 and a genuine commitment to meet with the NASUWT to seek to resolve our trade dispute.
"If the next phase of strike action goes ahead, it will be the responsibility of the Ministers and the employers."
