Teachers are rejecting the Government claim its pay offer is "quite generous"

Tens of thousands of union members across health and education have voted to stop work on Thursday.

The Post Primary Teachers' Association says the latest offer from the Government doesn't match inflation figures.

President Chris Abercrombie, says a recent survey suggests 14-percent of teachers don't feel valued by policy makers.

He says the workforce is under a lot of pressure - with much of that because of Government changes.
