Fórsa’s health and welfare division is set to hold an extraordinary divisional council meeting later this month to discuss items of significant importance on the divisional agenda.

Fórsa national secretary Ashley Connolly said the Divisional Executive Committee (DEC) took the decision to call the extraordinary meeting to discuss recruitment practices within the clerical administrative structure and the breach of collective agreements, and the career pathway review, specifically.

“Our members will be aware of the ongoing engagement with management to address our concerns relating to the continued breach of collective agreements on the recruitment of clerical administrative grades and the failure of the employer to implement the full terms of the career pathway review. This was discussed at our DEC meeting on the 5th April, and on foot of this the decision was made to call an extraordinary divisional meeting,” she explained.

The meeting will take place on Thursday 27th April and the agenda will solely address these issues.

“We know these issues are important to our members and the division is acting to progress them,” said Ashley.
