The Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI), which represents some 19,000 members in second-level schools, colleges of further and adult education, institutes of technology and universities, will strike on Tuesday 4 February.
The dispute centres around the big pay differences in the early years of employment between those hired before and after 2011.
