Health workers in the HSE and ‘section 38’ organisations, including large voluntary hospitals, will see their pay increase by 1.75% from this month.

The Labour Court has temporarily adjourned its hearing into a dispute over clinical governance and reporting relationships in new ‘children’s disability networks’ to allow direct discussions between Fórsa and the HSE.

Fórsa has welcomed proposals for legislation to ensure that public hospitals are used for public patients only.

A new alliance aimed at improving vaccination rates and reducing vaccine hesitancy has been launched by health minister Simon Harris.

Fórsa’s new general secretary has expressed frustration at the Government’s handling of the Public Service Stability Agreement (PSSA), and says there is a risk of the agreement unravelling unless there is urgent action to address its weaknesses.

Women's pensions are up to 35% lower than those of retired men, according to research from the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI).

Fórsa is urging its members to support the ‘global climate strike,’ an international protest in support of action on climate change that’s planned for Friday 20th September.

Fórsa is to play a lead role in the Irish leg of an international campaign for a four-day working week, which will be launched in Dublin later this month.
