    Added to that get the yearly pensions of Cowen, Ahearn, Roche Dempsey et al and I'm sure you could pay 100 special needs teachers yearly.

    typical union rep, only concerned in pay and conditions while forgetting about the human cost day in day out. These kids don't give a sh*te about pay and conditions they just want help

    My wife is a teacher and she absolutely hates having SNAs in her class, (she had 3 of them at one stage). She says that they cause constant disruption looking for special attention for THEIR child.

    Can they not be brought to a different room?:confused:

    is the union guy seeing people being put in a waiting list for a job and if they dont get one within a year then they have the choice of redundancy? do they get paid while on this waiting list?

    No one should have an automatic job for life, I feel bad for that woman but what about the thousands of women in the private sector who lost their jobs and can't make ends meet? She seems to think she is entitled to a job.

    I worked in the private sector. I heard my job was gone when a customer came into the shop and greeted the Manager by saying 'how's business' to which the Manager replied 'bad, I'm actually closing this place down at the weekend'. :eek:

    You have to be a TEACHER to be in a TEACHERS union, the same way you have to a Train driver to be in a train drivers union. These people are NOT teachers.

    We got an email from HR about Haddington Road Agreement and the changes it will bring to our jobs from 1st July.

    They don't have any of the details yet and people haven't a clue about the details just the broad changes. Gonna be fun in 10 days!

    To add insult to injury, I got a call from a chap in the agency who hired me that afternoon saying he wanted me to meet him the next day. So we met up and he started by saying 'you are doing a great job and the staff are very pleased with your performance' to which I replied Oh Thank God I heard the boss saying he was shutting the shop so that's a relief. To which he replied 'well he is actually'.

    I didn't even get into with him how appalled I was at the manner in which I found out. F.F.S. That's the private sector for you, you lucky public servants.

    My boss went into a different business afterwards - an Undertaker, just the job for a sensitive, caring, tactful person like him....

    Public Sector needs a radical overhaul, the whole thing needs to be reset, a clause should be put in stating that your job security may be in danger depending on economic conditions like in the real world as well of course of cutting the huge amount of positions that allow people to doss all day, I worked in 3 public sector places and the amount of people doing fcuk all, all day, was amazing.

    Some of them might own a pub and then get to be a TD. Kind of an over-qualification in comparison to being a teacher and becoming a TD I agree, but it occasionally happens. Failing downwards.

    I didn't think it had and as I'm not in a union I wouldn't be as up to date.

    But the changes are coming in. From next week we've to work an extra 2 hours (or 2.15 hours a week depending on what page you read) and the increments have been frozen from 1st July.

    Though if you're in a Union which has accepted the aggreement you get your next increment, If your Union has said no or if you're not in a Union then you don't!

    No details on how we are to work up the extra time, no details on concession days either. As I said, lots of fun!
