Public Sector pay talks began this week. After initial engagement at the WRC on Monday 27th November the parties adjourned. Talks are now due to reconvene this morning, Friday 1st December at 10am. 

A series of lunchtime protests will take place next week on Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th December at different locations around the country.

CORU's statutory regulation register officially opened for social care workers yesterday (30th November).

Last week the union announced that its industrial action in Tusla would escalate on Monday 4th of December, however, following an invitation from the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) that action has now been paused.

To make sure new members know about training opportunities we ask all branches to encourage new members to sign up to a Fórsa 101 information session as soon as they join.
