Fórsa and other unions have withdrawn the instruction for members to not participate in any Irish Water briefings in respect of the transfer of water services staff.

Fórsa has met with the Local Government Management Agency (LGMA) to process member's concerns on major issues relating to the protection of their terms and conditions, direct labour staffing of civic amenities, and the fit out of facilities within the Dublin super-depot.

Fórsa’s Galway Health and Local Government branch made a presentation last month to the very first recipient of their solidarity bursary.

Fórsa is supporting a Bill calling for the introduction of a reproductive health leave scheme to support members managing early pregnancy loss, fertility treatments and other reproductive health related matters.

Castlebar, County Mayo has emerged as the best place to work from home in Ireland, followed closely by Leixlip (Co Kildare) Navan (Co Meath) Galway and Longford.

Fórsa has donated over half a million euros to charities and organisations across the globe this year.

This week Fórsa bid a very fond farewell to former union president Ann McGee as she finished her work with the union’s strategic organising team to take up a post with Siptu.

ICTU president and Fórsa general secretary Kevin Callinan led the trade union delegation at Monday’s meeting of the Labour Employer Economic Forum
