Nipsa Calls Out Assistants - Again!
The run up to Christmas will be marked by a fresh phase of walkouts by local classroom assistants who are to resume their strike action next week.
The Nipsa union members will be out on picket lines two days a week until Christmas, and many special schools will be affected.
The union says the action was agreed unanimously at a meeting of its strike committee in Cookstown on Thursday.
Nipsa is the only union, so far, to have taken industrial action in the dispute over pay and conditions.
Last month, more than half of special schools were shut during 10 days of strike action.
The new walk-out will begin next Thursday and Friday, continuing on the following Monday and Tuesday.
