Members working in HSE and Section 38 hospitals are being asked to vote in a ballot on industrial action, up to and including, full strike action. The ballot will run to Tuesday 26th November.

After an overwhelming response to our petition, the HSE has now committed to reconsidering the exclusion of Health and Social Care Professionals (HSCPs) in regional executive management teams. This significant win follows members' fierce opposition to the HSE’s initial decision to exclude HSCPs from the management of the new Health Regions.

Fórsa has condemned Barnardos for retaining State funds meant to honour last year's Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) pay agreement for community and voluntary sector workers. Despite negotiating an eight percent pay increase, Barnardos has only sanctioned a portion of the agreed raise, leaving staff facing financial hardship.

Time is running out! Fórsa’s Third Level Grant Support Scheme for the 2024/25 academic year closes next week.
