At a meeting earlier today SIPTU, FÓRSA and UNITE confirmed that they would be consulting with members to consider what action is appropriate in light of the failure of Government to address the issue of pay restoration for workers in Section 39 Organisations.
Speaking after the meeting, Congress General Secretary Patricia King said that the workers in Section 39 Organisations had their pay cut in line with cuts imposed on workers in the public sector. Now that pay is being restored in the public sector workers in Section 39 Organisations should also receive the terms of the public sector pay agreement.
She called on the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Health to immediately make available resources to resolve this dispute.
