Forsa Member School Secretaries Announce Strike Action.

Wednesday, 1 September 2021 09:59

Around a dozen Kildare schools may be affected.

School secretaries, including in Kildare, are to stage a one-day strike on September 15th.

Forsa, which represents the workers, of whom there are around a dozen in Kildare, say they've been let down by the Government and haven't implemented a standardised pay and conditions for secretaries.

A demonstration will take place outside the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.

🤔 @forsa_union_ie don't strike very often but when they do they mean business. #Secretaries have the support of all staff support as well as the general public.

The government need to sort this situation out immediately. #SupportOurSecretaries #Solidarity
