Public sector unions are to stage a second one day national stoppage on Thursday, November 12th if no agreement is reached on on a new pay deal, it has been confirmed.

After a meeting of the 19 unions affiliated to the Irish Congress of Trade Unions Public Services Committee, Fórsa general secretary Kevin Callinan also said the work-to-rule currently in pace across the public and civil service will be stepped up and derogations that were previously agreed would be reviewed.

Aside from the impact on schools, healthcare and other public services, a strike on November 12th would disrupt preparations for meetings of European leaders due to take place on Thursday 12th and Friday 13th as part of Ireland’s EU presidency.
