Teacher and union member Ollie Power calls on all workers to back the strike by school secretaries and caretakers. Never pass a picket line!

If Helen McEntee doesn't want to see strike then give school secretaries and caretakers pensions and all other demands! Strike action can force government to concede!

If Swedish tv wasn't enough, I was also on Prime time on RTÉ yesterday. I was specifically talking about the impact of data centres on housing. Interestingly the data centres themselves agree that they're part of the problem with capacity constraints.

Principals & Deputies NAPD must support Caretakers’ & Secretaries’ strike 28 Aug. Your schools cannot open, let alone run, without them. Teacher unions - Teachers' Union Ire. ASTI INTO (Irish National Teachers' Organisation) - instruct members to support strike - trade unionism 101. How: bit.ly/4p47CBs

Ollie Power NAPD Teachers' Union Ire. ASTI INTO (Irish National Teachers' Organisation) Did you know that school secretaries and caretakers aren't entitled to access pensions? They are the heart of our schools and I value their work. So, I signed the pledge to support their campaign for pensions. Will you sign too? act.forsa.ie/pensionparitys…

📣 STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE 📣 NOW NOW NOW 📣 PENSIONS PENSIONS PENSIONS 📣 NOW NOW NOW Dublin this evening! Caretakers and secretaries are ready to take on the government. See you all outside the Dept of Public Expenditure this Thursday 28th at 11am.

Keep fighting until government caves!

How is this right? School secretaries and caretakers are real public servants. Support the strike!

Members of the same union refusing to pass pickets, or INTO/ASTI members joining them would bring this dispute to a head and force the Govt and Ministers to settle;shameful nonsense from union officials; 100% support to those SNAs in Cork who represent the REAL trade union spirit

The true backbone of every school - its secretaries and caretakers - remain undervalued irishtimes.com/opinion/letter… #pensionparity

Teacher unions & Principals’ associations need to step up now. Don’t hide behind the 1990 Act: there are clear safety at work grounds to close schools & instruct teachers not to pass pickets Secretaries and caretakers need action, not best wishes.

Homelessness is good for the wealthy. It’s as simple as that - landlords and speculators feed off the desperation of families & swallow up money earned by workers. If you think you can vote this system out of existence you are a fool.

Amazing show of solidarity in Carlow. Rule number 1 is never pass a picket line! This is how workers win.

Teachers Unions take note, there's only a small window of opportunity to help Fórsa School Secretaries and caretakers.

Palestine solidarity is resistant to, but not immune from, co-optation by liberal defenders of indigenous capitalism and imperialism. Talk is cheap. As are poetry readings and strongly worded letters to ghouls in suits. Solidarity has a cost.

Behind the superficial theatre of elections, parliaments, legislation & courts giving an illusion of choice & order, capitalism is really enforced by the fist, boot, baton, gun & bomb.

School secretaries are on strike HSE Ireland. Dont be sending any forms in where pickets are on. 🤨

You need to change your messaging to the teachers’ unions. Asking their members not to carry out work done by strikers is not enough. Turning the key in the lock in the car park gates (caretaker’s job) is scabbing the picket. Join forces to win.

Spokesperson from NAPD on morning Ireland saying schools are in safety crisis without secretaries and caretakers. They knew weeks ago: rednetwork.net/articles/2025/… Teacher unions nowhere to be seen.
