Siptu workers in Section 39 organisations have voted “overwhelmingly” to strike over their long-running pay dispute with the Government.

The results of a nationwide ballot returned a 96% vote in favour of taking industrial action in order to bring the issue to a head.  Siptu said it will now bring the mandate it has received from that vote to crisis talks at the Workplace Relations Commission on Monday, March 3.
