BREAKING: Vaccine priority: All three teacher unions agree to ballot for industrial action if government doesn't meet demands

Image: Shutterstock Image: Shutterstock ALL THREE TEACHERS’ unions have passed a motion calling for prioritisation in the vaccination programme and a ballot for industrial action, including strike, if the government does not meet their demands.

The motion condemns the recent changes to the priority listing for teachers within the national vaccination programme and demands the government re-instates education staff as a priority group within the national vaccination programme. If the government does not agree to prioritise teachers in the programme by the end of the current school year, the motion mandates a ballot of members for industrial action up to and including strike.

Putting a empty gun to a even emptier head. Suits the Government that the schools don't re open.

Well do it now , not when ye break for the summer ! Or STFU and get on with your job !

They're a disgrace

I’m a teacher. Older people should get it first.

Time for the government to emphasise their rationale: ie the virus poses little risk to those who aren't highly vulnerable. You can't blame people for being scared given the scaremongering so far.
