The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors will hold a series of so-called 'days of action' in response to the ongoing industrial relations dispute over proposed rosters.
THE ASSOCIATION OF Garda Sergeants and Inspectors will hold a series of so-called ‘days of action’ in response to the ongoing industrial relations dispute over proposed rosters.
In a statement, the AGSI said the National Executive had been mandated to take action over “the failure of the Garda Commissioner to appropriately address health, safety and welfare concerns of its membership in relation to the Garda roster”. “In March 2020 members moved overnight to a new roster to police the Covid-19 pandemic and undertakings by the Garda Commissioner that we would return to our normal working patterns have not been honoured,” she said.
Gardaí affected by the change are unhappy with an arrangement which would see them working for seven straight days before receiving two rest days. AGSI said its members had rejected the proposed new Garda Roster in November citing work-life balance issues, and a requirement to work up to an additional 47 days per year, for some members – they rejected the roster proposals by 63% in a ballot of members.
