Talks to avert firefighter strike set for later this month
The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) has scheduled a conciliation conference in the city this lunchtime to hear both sides in the dispute over back money linked to pay restoration.
The firefighters, who have been engaged in unofficial industrial action, say they have not been paid back money linked to a pay restoration process under the Public Services Stability Agreement (PSSA). The payments are worth up to €500 to each firefighter. They say they are the only full-time brigade in the country not to get the payments.
