A ballot for industrial action by Fórsa members in the Cathal Brugha Street campus of Dublin’s new technological university, TUD, has been put on hold. The ballot, by members of the union’s Municipal Employees’ Division, was planned because of the delayed implementation of a 2015 Labour Court recommendation about the introduction of cost saving measures at the college.

Fórsa has told management that the ballot will go ahead if the provisions in the recommendation are not signed off by 1st March. The recommendation provides for promotional opportunities, funded through cost-saving measures.
