School secretaries are to take industrial action over pay and conditions

School secretaries are to take industrial action over pay and conditions.

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.
