Health workers rally for pay restoration
Members of the SIPTU Health Division called on the Government to honour its commitment to restore their pay in line with national agreements at a rally on Thursday, 30th April, outside the Department of Health, Dublin 2. At the rally, frontline health workers and support staff heard speeches stating that as workers had fulfilled their commitments under the Haddington Road Agreement it was now time for the Government to meet its obligation to restore their pay.
Addressing the rally, Roisin Quinn, a health care assistant and SIPTU activist, said: “SIPTU is in a battle to make our jobs more sustainable that will support the long term interests of the people we care about and care for.”
Concluding the rally, SIPTU Health Division Organiser, Paul Bell, called on the Government to live up to its commitments by initially restoring the earnings of lower paid workers.
