Fórsa latest trade union to threaten industrial action over lack of pay restoration

Fórsa has become the latest trade union to threaten industrial action over the continued refusal to restore pay cuts imposed on section 39 workers.

Section 39 employees are not public servants but their employers are grant-aided by the HSE to provide services mainly in the health and social services sectors.

Traditionally, their pay has been linked to rates within the public service.
