Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Finance and Economics: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Justin McCamphill:

There are five teacher unions in the North that represent across both primary and secondary. It is quite a complex arrangement. I work for one of those other unions in the North but I would say, though, we have a very good model of working together to represent teachers. We have a body called the Northern Ireland Teachers Council. We meet fairly regularly. We have joint meetings with the employers and then we present a single case when it comes to terms and conditions etc.
