NIPSA here too.  As I've said before anybody NOT in a union is crazy.  I'm surprised that so many techies (the most intelligent people in the education system   :P ) can't be bothered to join a union.



Again as I've said before, without the unions we'd be on minimum wage, term time contracts.

Hi

I am one of the NIPSA union reps and would advise everyone to be part of a union - it acts as insurance for you if anthing goes wrong or if you have a problem that you cannot resolve internally.  NIPSA works hard for all its members and the contribution each month is small.  If i can help in anyway please feel free to contact me.

to be honest , if i had a problem that i couldnt resolve, i would leave, no job is worth hassle like that.
