    I'll be a happy teacher if you're right TheDriver.

    Was talking to teacher in the midlands last night and she couldn't get over the number of teachers who were buying the TUI line. She's afraid of a Yes.

    Seems very untoward the way head office have decide to skip over branches and text members directly. What's the purpose of a branch?

    If that happened there will be war at Congress. TUI was always a bottom-up organisation, not a top down.

    They have done that in Dublin, contacted members directly and asking them to vote YES, even though their branch recommended a NO.

    From GrassRoots FB page, can confirm that good few of my friends got the texts also. Also heard of same in a midlands school.
    For all members of Dublin City Branch. You may have received a text message today urging you to vote YES to this agreement. This was not sent by the Branch. The Branch position, along with many other Branches around the country, is to call for a NO vote to the agreement and a YES vote to industrial action.

    Branch had to follow up with email to say that text wasn't from them but from Head Office. Might have been too late then though.

    Really hope there is war at congress about it.

    (Also, just noticed that I made a mess of Poll, 3rd option should read "Majority No.....", copied and pasted the options to quickly and won't let me edit).

    All this debate is not worth a curse if the consultation document for education gets through.
