It is understood senior representatives from the two unions met earlier this week and agreed to proceed with talks about coming together.The two unions have been at loggerheads in recent years, as they adopted different stances on issues such as junior cycle reform, and amid acrimonious accusations of the poaching of members.
The Teachers Union of Ireland said:"As the Building Momentum sectoral bargaining process is still ongoing, TUI has no comment to make at present."The relationship between the two unions has been a fraught one of late. A settlement of €280,000 was ordered in compensation to the ASTI after the Irish Congress of Trade Unions adjudicated in the union's favour.
The TUI, meanwhile, represents in the main teachers working in the newer ETB and community and comprehensive sectors.
Twice as woke then? 🙄
It might knock some sense in the hawks in ASTI, or else TUI are having a brain fart.

Hopefully a step forward. More coordination with INTOnews would also be a benefit.
