Northern Ireland’s education union leaders have authorized a "work to rule" strategy in response to ongoing disputes over pay and working conditions, signaling a shift away from strike action as tensions escalate. The move reflects deep frustration among educators over unresolved grievances, though union officials emphasize it as a measured approach to pressure policymakers. With no immediate resolution in sight, teachers and school staff are bracing for prolonged disruptions as the campaign unfolds. The decision underscores broader challenges in the education sector, where staffing shortages and financial constraints have intensified conflicts.
