Dear members,

Industrial action by ICT workers in local authorities begins next Wednesday 28 January.

On this date Fórsa union members working in ICT will:

• Cease all out-of-hours work.
• Cease all engagement with third parties, including contractors, vendors, the LGMA, and others.

We have prepared a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document to help you further understand what impact the industrial action will have. Please read this document and retain a copy. Read the FAQs document here.

Union members are protected while on industrial action. Now, is the time to tell your colleagues who aren’t yet members of the union to join. 

It is always on the Fórsa website here, and you can submit questions to your branch, official or by emailing lghelp@forsa.ie.

Yours in solidarity,

Richy Carrothers
National Secretary
Head of the Local Government and Local Services Division and the Municipal Employees’ Division
