As we sign off on our penultimate bulletin of 2021, we want to thank and acknowledge the many Fórsa members who will be working or on-call, maintaining vital public services over the holiday period. And we wish all our members a wonderful Christmas and a very happy and healthy New Year. We look forward to returning with all the news in January. In the meantime, get details of how to contact the union over the holidays HERE.
