I would have loved to be teaching my students Shakespeare today. But I think it’s more important to teach them that solidarity is the most powerful tool we have to build a fairer society. As an IFUT member I am proud to show my solidarity for all workers across the Irish public sector.

While the Minister is waxing lyrical about #AI, I am unable to teach my students about it because his government failed to put in place a public sector pay agreement, or to fully implement the terms of the previous two agreements. 🤨 #PublicSectorStrike #IFUT #HigherEducation
"On my Ministry, we will catch the wave (of AI) and bring everyone along with us.
Change is not something we should fear but something we embrace.
We are equipping people with the skills to use AI with confidence." Minister Lawless TD #AISUMMITIE

Well lads, that's me off college tomorrow. Still have my lecture from the States to attend, though, and a mountain of research to crack on with.

Good luck to all striking public sector workers tomorrow. May the rain and wind stay away. If you work in higher ed, please respect the strike. Don't reschedule lectures or hold them online. Don't reply to emails. After all, solidarity benefits us all.

Ready to Strike
Tuesdays are my busiest teaching days this Semester, but today I've also been preparing for tomorrow's strike. This has largely revolved around figuring out arrangements for the picket lines. It seems that we have good numbers for tomorrow's action, with crews assigned to all the main entrances to Maynooth Uninversity campus. I'm involved as a member of the Irish Federation of University Teachers (IFUT) but there will also be pickets from other campus trade unions, Unite and SIPTU.

IFUT launches formal complaint on behalf of College’s Teaching Fellows

The open letter, sent on August 6, said: “The current compensation structure for Teaching Fellows is extremely restricted and does not align with the responsibilities and roles being performed by staff.”
