I certainly hope they aren't paid as the reason the schools are closed is because they won't do the substitution and supervision to cover their striking workmates.ASTI teachers are reporting for work today, most schools are closed because of the withdrawal of substitution and supervision. Will the teachers be paid for the day? I have asked a number of teachers and they all claim not to know.
What about the others who aren't working either?According to the News at 1 on radio1, the ASTI members won't be paid for each day the schools are closed
I do wish RTE would balance their reports on these things a bit better. The report on the 9 o'clock news last night just contained angry teachers blaming the government for the school closures, saying they wanted to teach and were locked out of the schools ... as if they had absolutely nothing to do with the closures. The absolute cheek of them to come out with these statements and not to have this countered in any way left me just a tad angry!
Its good to know we get value for our licence fee. However Finucane etc make up for any bias to unions with their Blueshirt capitalist pronouncements.

Whatever about the merits of the pay claims of the guards and other public servants, teachers earn a full years salary for 33 weeks work, and a full weeks salary for 22 hours teaching time.
C'mon, why on earth would you expect anything better from the Public Sector Broadcaster?I do wish RTE would balance their reports on these things a bit better.
