SIPTU, the Services, Industrial, Professional and Technical Union, has initiated discussions with members of the Oireachtas to address concerns ahead of a looming strike by National Ambulance Service personnel. The industrial action, scheduled for next week, is driven by unresolved disputes over pay.
The meetings with TDs and senators aim to garner support and highlight the pressing issues facing ambulance workers. SIPTU representatives stress that the current pay conditions are unsustainable and have resulted in low morale among emergency service staff.
Union officials have emphasized the critical nature of these discussions, as they seek to avert disruption to emergency services while ensuring fair compensation for their members. The strike, if it proceeds, could significantly impact ambulance services across the country.
As the deadline approaches, SIPTU urges government officials to intervene and facilitate a resolution that acknowledges the essential role of ambulance workers in public health and safety.
