Ireland: Public Workers Plan Strikes over Pay Cuts

By Larry Habegger | Permalink | No Comments | January 13th, 2010 | Trackback

Unions representing government workers are gearing up for possible national strikes to protest their second pay cut in less than a year. Public servants could walk out across all sectors, including hospitals and public offices. Such strikes generally do not affect tourism, but hospital services could be severely disrupted and protests and demonstrations are possible. The industrial action is occurring as the government tries to resuscitate the country’s ailing economy.
