The release of the Labour Court's recommendation, to resolve the dispute between the Government and the Association of Secondary School Teachers'(ASTI), has been delayed, ireland.comhas learned today.
The recommendation had been expected next week by the ASTI, who had arranged a meeting of its Central Executive Committee for March 3rd to discuss the issue.
The Union said it was "disappointed" at the delay. The recommendation is now expected to be issued before March 10th.
Mr Charlie Lennon, General Secretary of the ASTI, said "the duration of this dispute has created much anger among ASTI members who believe the Government jeopardised any possibility of an earlier resolution by illegally docking the pay of members who embarked on a work to rule type of action".
