ASTI members vote to reject Haddington Road deal

The Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland has voted to reject the Haddington Road Agreement on public service pay.

They also voted to back industrial action in the event that members balloted against the agreement.

Union members rejected the deal by 63% to 37%.

The ballot for industrial action was 65% in favour with 35% voting against.

The outcome of the TUI ballot is expected later this afternoon.

The ASTI had recommended a rejection of the deal, while the TUI has issued a neutral recommendation to members.

The ASTI represents 17,000 secondary school teachers, while the TUI represents 15,000 teachers at second- and third-level.

The Irish Federation of University Teachers will announce the result of its ballot on Monday.

The deal, which came into effect on 1 July, provides for longer working hours, pay cuts for those earning over €65,000 and increment freezes of variable duration depending on the level of pay.

Crucially for teachers, it also sees the abolition of a €1,700 a year allowance for supervision and substitution duties, with the prospect of partial reimbursement after the deal expires.

However, it also provides protection from compulsory redundancy, and offers the prospect of pay restoration for those earning less than €100,000 after the agreement expires in 2015.

Unions that reject Haddington Road will lose those protections and will have a total increment freeze for three years.
