NIPSA members are currently engaged in a campaign of industrial action in the Education Authority. Our members democratically voted for both action short of strike action and strike action. The action is around four points

  • Pay and Grading Review
  • Job Evaluation
  • Pay Differentials
  • Education Cuts

We do not believe that this dispute will be easily resolved so we are ensuring we use intelligent, focused and strong industrial action that is applied at appropriate times.

Action started on 6 November with action short of strike action.

We will take two hours strike action on 16 November 2023, this will take effect from your normal start time.

We are preparing for selective action in late November/December by members who provide critical services. Members on selective action are acting on behalf of all members so this action is fully funded by the union.

NIPSA has approached our sister unions, UNITE, GMB, UNISON with selective action proposals.
