IMPACT members vote in favour of ‘twilight’ proposals
IMPACT members in Galway and Roscommon have voted overwhelmingly in favour of proposals to resolve the dispute over unpaid premium pay.
The dispute concerned unpaid ‘twilight’ hours payments to 400 social care staff working in the Brothers of Charity and Ability West services in Galway and Roscommon. Staff had engaged in a work to rule on the issue in September.
In a ballot of members concluded in early November, 91% voted to approve proposals which would see arrears payments, backdated over three years, paid to staff.
