Why it matters
The strike represents a major escalation in labor relations, significantly affecting public access to essential services across the country.
More than 300,000 public sector workers including nurses, doctors, teachers and civil servants, will engage in a 24-hour strike tomorrow over delays in agreeing a new public sector pay deal.
Here is a breakdown of where the biggest impacts are likely to be felt.
The main teaching unions, including the INTO, ASTI, TUI and IFUT, are all taking part in tomorrow's strike which means that most schools, colleges and universities will be closed for the day.
Special Needs Assistants, who are represented by the Fórsa trade union, will also be on strike.
Expect to see pickets at the gates of schools right across the country.
Parents should already have received communications from their schools advising them of the closures.
