The resolution says the changes "were announced by Government without consultation with workers' representatives".
It states that "in the event that Government does not agree to schedule by the end of the current school year, vaccinations on the basis demanded above, Convention mandates a ballot of members for industrial action, up to and including strike action". TUI President Martin Marjoram told the minister that his members "hate surprises " and they learned about the vaccination from leaks and distressed texts .
Earlier, Minister Foley said that "it has never been in the gift of the Department of Education ... to make a promise on vaccination priority ... the vaccination schedule was designed by the National Immunisation Advisory Committee and endorsed by public health".
