Second day of strikes set for schools in Mid Ulster, Fermanagh and Omagh

The NASUWT, the largest teachers’ union in Northern Ireland, issued a notice of the second day of rolling strike action on 31 January 2017 in schools across Derry City and Strabane, Mid Ulster, and Fermanagh and Omagh.

Schools across west Tyrone were affected by strikes on Wednesday (18th January).

Thousands of pupils were forced to stay at home during the strikes.

They came after teaching unions rejected an offer from the  Education Minister Peter Weir.

The offer would have frozen their pay last year with a rise of one per-cent for 2016-2017.

Teachers are now asking for a pay rise and a “fair wage”.
