Good morning colleagues,

 

Trade unions have told the HSE they will not accept a ban on industrial action or unilateral decisions to outsource services as proposed in a plan by health managers last Friday for dealing with the coronavirus outbreak.

 

The Irish Times reports that Fórsa commented on Sunday to say unions were working closely with the HSE in a rapidly developing situation, and all parties were “equally focused on responding in the most effective way possible”, but said the health staff panel representing all unions on Friday had said the ban on industrial action and the provision for outsourcing were not acceptable.

 

Fórsa also said unions told HSE they would not agree to any unilateral outsourcing and any such proposal must be in line with the provisions of the current public service agreement. The story is also carried by RTE.
