Great session yesterday afternoon at the ETAS Professional Development Day on "The needs of teachers as workers"! Here are some of the issues that were raised. Looking forward to seeing where we go from here! #etas #PD #ELT #ELTevents

@generalunion @ParisaMehran @josipa74 @taw_sig @teflguild The UK's @TeflUnion and @AngryLang were inspirational for us. We looked to pair up with a bigger union and @UniteunionROI's organisers came out punching for us, so we partnered with them and together we have had successes. @IWW_WISERA v helpful.

@generalunion @ParisaMehran @josipa74 Hi @generalunion, do you know of unions that support #ELT workers in other countries? Maybe some closer to where you are. Through @taw_sig we support @teflguild's project to find #TEFL-welcoming trade unions. Any experience?

[ELT ADVOCACY Ireland @ELTAdvocacy]

@ParisaMehran @josipa74 @generalunion https://t.co/wBOFtIoSDb They look like they know the issues. Great find. @ParisaMehran. I hope it goes well. We'll need to list them on @teflguild.

[TEFL Guild @teflguild]

@SarahP_ELT That's fine ... good luck and solidarity.

[ELT ADVOCACY Ireland @ELTAdvocacy]

This is excellent. WE NEED MORE!

Strong finish by @prebolledoc in #iatefl2019 mentioning "working conditions" "teachers being used and abused" "unions" ; even stronger point - where is support in this by @iatefl ?

[Eibhlín Ní Mhurchú @eilymurphy]

@gzxklair @haannaahmac @ClareBurke_ELT @taw_sig @teflguild put together info page to guide Ts through maze of contracts in different countries. Hope this grows -unions in EU can help (?)- ELT working conditions are not perfect, but at least comparing can help us ask good Qs before signing contracts https://t.co/bWgPzEfG22

Today's strike to protest 19 job cuts at @itBritish. Great turnout & music by La Scala violinist & members of men's choir. And Wendy 🐕.
Very emotional day. But had to be done.
