TUI’s Executive Committee has decided to defer strike action scheduled for Monday, March 30th. The decision follows the Government’s invitation to ICTU to re-engage in talks on an economic recovery plan.
TUI represents 14,500 teachers and lecturers at second and third level.

Speaking today, TUI General Secretary Peter MacMenamin said:

“We welcome the decision of Government to re-engage with the other social partners in talks on a new economic plan. We are formally withdrawing the strike notice but the other aspects of the industrial action remain in place."

 “We support a fairer distribution of the effects of the economic difficulties in accordance with the ICTU’s ten point plan.”
