Labour Court hearing being held in bid to resolve issues over proposed new contracts
The dispute which saw nurses take strike action on several days last month is not over, the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has said.
She said there was still unfinished business that had to be addressed as part of an overall settlement. The introduction of a new contract was a key element in settlement proposals put forward last month which led to the suspension of further planned strikes by nurses. Nursing unions have rejected proposals for the new contract tabled by Government representatives which would give health service employers provision to move nurses between locations up a radius of 40km and to significantly change shift patterns.
