As rising costs erode pay and standards of living, Fórsa members working in the civil and public service are being urged to vote yes in a national ballot on industrial action. Opening on Tuesday 4th August, this ballot is a critical opportunity to send government a message that you won’t be taken for granted.  

Members speak out and explain why they need a pay agreement that delivers a better deal. 

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) this week called on Government to deliver a “workers’ budget” in Budget 2027, warning that costly short-term gimmicks and giveaways have failed to ease the pressure on working people and their families.
