Siptu calls on health minister to intervene in Covid-19 swabber pay dispute

As well as swabbers at the test centres, contact racers have also raised concerns.

Siptu has called on the health minister to intervene in a pay dispute between swabbers working at Covid-19 test centres and the HSE as Covid-19 cases continue to increase.

That is after contact tracers also working for the HSE raised concerns the tracing system is being downsized with just 146 contact tracers set to remain in place after June 30.
