General Secretary of the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland has warned delegates of difficult times ahead should the proposals contained in Croke Park II be rejected by members, as is expected.
Pat King said he thought it was clear that public sector workers were heading for an open dispute with Government if the deal was rejected.
The union has begun debating a motion calling for a rejection of the Labour Relations Commission proposals.
Proposing the motion, incoming president Sally MacGuire said there was no fair play in the proposals.
She said teachers could not be expected to give more for less when schools were in a "state of chassis".
Mr King called for a united union and said the coming times could be a big test of the resolve of ASTI members.
Members are currently being balloted by post on the issue.
Delegates are also debating a motion critical of the moratorium on posts of responsibility.
These are positions which give additional pay to teachers who undertake additional responsibilities such as timetabling or running school exams.
The INTO conference begins this evening in Cork with an address by the union's president.
The Teachers' Union of Ireland begins its conference in Galway tomorrow.
The TUI conference will open with a special motion on Croke Park, even though its members have already voted No to the deal.
However, it is not yet clear how INTO members will vote.
The leadership has not made a recommendation for or against the proposals.
Delegates may not even debate the issue directly, as no motion has yet been tabled on the proposals.
Minister for Education Ruairi Quinn will address the INTO and the ASTI tomorrow.
He will visit the TUI conference on Wednesday.
