Caredoc members voted to accept proposals secured by the Union, bringing an end to their pay dispute.The agreement granted a retroactive 8% pay increase to all members, which they overwhelmingly approved and was implemented for staff in January.
Members had engaged in a one-day work stoppage on 18th December, 2025, over Caredoc management’s failure to apply the above pay terms.
Speaking following the ballot result announcement, SIPTU Organiser, Ger McNally, said: “SIPTU welcomes this outcome and believes it reflects the strong mandate of our members to secure fair and just pay increases in line with the Workplace Relations Commission agreement in relation to these workers.”
He added: “The local strike committee worked tirelessly throughout. Our members displayed remarkable strength, determination and unity, concluding this dispute through strategic industrial action, including a day-long picket in December. This result benefits both workers and Caredoc service users.”
SIPTU Sector Organiser Damian Ginley said: “Members within Caredoc showed great courage by going on strike and fighting for what they were entitled to. Pickets were placed at several sites across the Southeast of the country.”
He added: “Members demonstrated great solidarity and support for the action taken by this Union, and the positive outcome underscored the power of a union and the collective.”
