Public service agreement expected to be ratified

Industry and Employment Correspondent The proposed public service agreement Building Momentum  is now certain to be ratified tomorrow after the largest public service union Fórsa voted to back it by a margin of almost 96%.  The turnout was just over 58%.  Today s vote means that the four largest unions - Fórsa, SIPTU, the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation and the Irish National Teachers Organisation - have all backed the two-year agreement. This means a majority in favour is guaranteed in tomorrow s aggregate vote by the Public Services Committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions.  The ratification will come as a relief to the Government, as it should deliver certainty in pay and industrial relations for the next two years as it combats the consequences of Covid-19 and Brexit.
