Cork care centre workers caught in 'employment limbo' for two years

Despite the uncertainty, the centre's care assistants, social care workers and administration and clerical workers, are still turning up for work every day to care for the centre residents.

SIPTU has called on Revenue to intervene and help care centre workers in Cork caught in “employment limbo” for almost two years.

The trade union said 36 of its members at the St Vincent’s Centre in Cork city, a residential care centre for women with a mild to medium intellectual disability and who require supports, are being denied access to basic social welfare entitlements because Revenue won't recognise their employer.
