ASTI meet to discuss benchmarking
The Association of Secondary Teachers’ standing committee is meeting this morning to discuss its response to the benchmarking report published earlier this week.
The ASTI was not a part of the benchmarking process, but it has pledged to take legal action if its members do not receive the full 13% pay rise recommended in the report.
ASTI refused to co-operate with benchmarking because it felt the process would not deliver the 30% pay rise it has been seeking for years.
The union is expected to adopt a wait-and-see attitude at its meeting today.
