The government has been urged to ‘act rationally’ and come to a ‘fair agreement’ with school secretaries and caretakers as industrial action at local primary and secondary schools enters its second week.
Sinn Féin TD Ruairí Ó Murchú said he and his party ‘are in full support and solidarity’ with the Fórsa trade union members who started indefinite strike action last week over pension parity and other key entitlements.
Over 2,600 Fórsa members are asking for access to public sector pensions and other key entitlements.
On Thursday, the workers began their indefinite strike action after a day of talks at the Workplace Relations Commission failed to see an agreement between the two parties.
Deputy Ó Murchú joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
