Community employment supervisors warn of strike ballot over access to pension scheme Siptu sets mid-April deadline for Government to table proposals to resolve issue Tue, Apr 6, 2021, 09:23
Community employment scheme supervisors are to ballot for strike action if the Government does not table proposals by the end of next week to deal with a long-running dispute over access to a pension scheme. The move would mark the reactivation of industrial action which saw hundreds of community employment scheme supervisors stage a one-day strike in February 2020, just before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Services Industrial Professional and Technical Union (Siptu) said it had been informed by the Department of Social Protection in February 2021 that it had presented a consolidated proposal to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on the pension issue.
