Fórsa has hit back at ISME's call for the reintroduction of deep public service pay cuts.

Fórsa has slammed public service employers for ignoring their legal obligation to keep staff informed about how much their pension savings are worth.

The Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (DEASP) has agreed to give permanent contracts to a number of temporary staff working on its public service card project.

Fórsa has finally agreed the introduction of vehicle monitoring in Revenue enforcement vehicles after establishing clear conditions for the operation of the system.

The union recently met management in the national shared services office (NSSO) in Killarney to discuss concerns about the refurbishment of the New Road offices.

Civil and public service managers are now obliged to consider the use of mediation when dealing with most workplace and contract disputes. The new policy applies to all civil service departments and offices, which are also required to bring it to the attention of bodies operating under their aegis.

Unfortunately, we are not able to bring you the usual Fórsa audio bulletin with this publication. That’s because last week’s snow and storm prevented us from getting out and about to interview the people in the union news.

Normal service will be resumed next time. Many apologies!
