TUI and IFUT dismiss ESRI research as ‘patently flawed’
In a joint statement today, the Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) and Irish Federation of University Teachers (IFUT) rejected as ‘misleading’ and ‘flawed’ the findings of an ESRI survey on a pay differential between public and private higher education staff.
The latest ESRI figures on a public and private pay differential between higher education staff are extremely misleading and yet again mischievously add to the drip-feed of misinformation supporting a patently flawed agenda. By failing to compare like with like, this piece of research is essentially redundant.
TUI General Secretary, Peter MacMenamin, said:
“To attempt to compare these completely different forms of employment is a pointless exercise that adds nothing but unhelpful clutter to any reasonable, intelligent public discourse.”
IFUT General Secretary, Mike Jennings, said:
“It is unusual that the two unions that represent third-level combine to take a stance like this. It illustrates the level of what we see as a complete misunderstanding of the essential characteristics of a valid and internationally respected education system.”
The Press Release issued jointly by the two unions is available in full here.
