SIPTU has notified the NAS of its intention to conduct strike action next month as part of a long-standing dispute with the HSE regarding unimplemented recommendations from a 2020 independent report.
SIPTU has today (Monday 13th April) welcomed the Government’s new investment plan for the country’s full-time and retained fire services but highlighted serious gaps of grave concern.
SIPTU General Secretary, John King, has condemned the Government’s abandonment of low to average income households amid a worsening cost-of-living crisis.
Around 2000 SIPTU members in the National Ambulance Service across the country voted overwhelmingly for industrial action, up to and including strike action.
The Support Sector Committee has secured a date later this month with the Workplace Relations Committee to re-engage on its outstanding concerns regarding the Job Evaluation Scheme.

“When workplace issues are raised collectively with the involvement of trade unions, there is a higher success rate than when presented individually. It is very clear that, “United we stand, divided we fall.”
