UPDATE: Oberstown talks at the WRC have produced a welcome outcome, with a clear roadmap.

This was always about safety. Safety of the staff and safety of the minors on the campus.

Well done to the members! A long-standing dispute, hard fought for by Oberstown workers.

Members will be balloted on the proposals today, and depending on the results, industrial action may be paused.

If this happens, it will be paused until the week of the 28th of September. This will be to give the Department of Public Expenditure under Minister Jack Chambers time to confirm that the business case is accepted.

In Fórsa, there are 90,000 public sector members.

There are hundreds of thousands of other public workers in the other unions also balloting for action.

There is huge collective strength building.

And our demands are reasonable – fair pay, respect, protect jobs and protect public services.

Make the government come to the table with a credible offer.

Stand with your colleagues, and vote Yes!

Vote YES now!

Safe Staffing Crisis: Strikes by Oberstown members are taking place because members want a lasting solution, for the safety of both the children and staff.

Members protested yesterday at Department of Children, Disability and Equality over safe staffing. This is the third in a series of work stoppages.

Talks around safe staffing and conditions have broken down, with no representative of the DCDE there. But as always, we are open to engagement when there are real, long term solutions on the table.

Why are Oberstown children's detention centre members on strike today? Because Oberstown are in crisis - the lack of safe staffing means meaning children aren't safe and neither are staff.

Norma Foley - TD – protect your staff!
