Government’s decentralisation scheme has failed, says SIPTU
Following the Labour Court’s ruling that promotion cannot be used by FÁS to encourage staff to relocate from Dublin, SIPTU’s branch organiser in FÁS, Greg Ennis, called on the Government to accept that its policy of compulsory decentralisation of non-commercial semi-state agencies has failed.
“It is neither realistic, nor reasonable to expect people, many of whom have 20 years or more service and family commitments, to move when there is no requirement for them to do so in order to carry out their jobs effectively,” he said.
