Staff in disability organisations to consider strike after Simon Harris encounter with care worker
Briefly

"Despite several soundbites from senior people in the government claiming that they fully support our members' pay claim, the same leaders refuse to give a mandate to the appropriate funding for department officials to address this long-standing issue," said Siptu sector organiser, Damian Ginley.
"Actions speak louder than words. Unfortunately, the complete inaction by the government over the last 12 months to address this matter at the Workplace Relations Commission has led to our decision to consult with members on the next steps in their campaign for pay justice."
"The lack of respect shown to our members is obvious. This course of action is about achieving our members' right to decent pay for the important work they do on behalf of the state, which includes protecting and caring for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities."
