Fears for elderly and disabled as Dublin home care workers threaten strike over pay restoration
They provide services across Dublin on behalf of organisations such as Terenure Home Helps Services, Crumlin Home Care Services and North Inner City Home Care Services.
The union said the decision to ballot for strike action follows the failure of some Section 39 organisations to honour a national pay restoration agreement brokered under the auspices of the Workplace Relations Commission between Siptu representatives, the HSE, the Department of Health and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
“Our members in these organisations, all low-paid workers, are falling further behind, having endured cuts in pay of approximately 6% and also suffering a cut in their hours which has had a knock-on effect on service users and their families.How to follow the Irish Mirror on social media You can like our main Facebook page here.
