A Teachers’ Union has opened a ballot of members for potential industrial action over pay, workload and working practices.
The ballot by the union - the NASUWT closes on 4 April, and asks members if they would be willing to take both strike action and action short of strike action.
It's over - what the union calls 'an unacceptable pay offer and the failure of ministers to tackle adverse working practices.'
Government had offered a two per cent pay increase.
The Union says this offer does not come close to addressing the current rate of inflation or tackling the year-on-year real terms erosion of teachers’ salaries.
We spoke to the union's General Secretary Dr Patrick Roach:

Proposed laws could mean free period products
Unemployment fell slightly last month
GP waiting times to be raised in House of Keys tomorrow
Waves higher than predicted on crossing which damaged cars
Spitfire flights to be launched from Ronaldsway
Does Crogga owe the government money?
Thinking of standing for election?
