Fórsa members have been staging a 12-hour strike since 9am today (25 August).
There’s been a significant escalation in the 'staffing and resources' dispute at Oberstown Children Detention Campus.
Fórsa members have been staging a 12-hour strike since 9am today (25 August).
The union's also served notice of a 48-hour stoppage next week.
Oberstown says the withdrawal of frontline staff puts the safety and welfare of workers and young people at 'unacceptable risk'.
But Fórsa says it’s taking action because ongoing staffing shortages are already putting both workers and residents at risk.
