Public Sector to strike in Northern Ireland on 10th July
SIPTU members will be joining their colleagues in the public sector in Northern Ireland in a 24-hour strike action on Thursday, 10th July.
The strike will involve SIPTU members in local government in three councils in Northern Ireland. The action by workers results from their rejection of an offer of a 1% pay rise by the employers side of the National Joint Council (NJC).
SIPTU members in the public sector voted by more than three to one to join the strike action which will involve over 2 million workers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
“This action will be bigger than the public sector strike in 2011 and indicates the level of anger there is among public sector workers at the ongoing attack on their living standards,” said SIPTU Organiser, Niall McNally.
