SIPTU members employed at a care facility in Shankill, part of the St John of God group, are preparing to initiate strike action this Wednesday. This development follows the breakdown of discussions with the Workplace Relations Committee (WRC), aimed at resolving ongoing disputes.
The decision to strike comes after failed negotiations intended to address concerns raised by union members regarding their working conditions and pay. The collapse of these talks has left workers with no choice but to proceed with industrial action.
The impending strike highlights continued tensions between the employees and the management of the St John of God group, as efforts to reach a compromise have not yielded positive results. It underscores the significant challenges faced in the sector, as workers seek to secure fair treatment and adequate compensation.
Efforts by the WRC to mediate in the discussions have not succeeded in bridging the gap between the two parties, leading to a critical impasse.
