SIPTU HSE home support HCAs vote for strike action in Kerry

Kerry SIPTU members in the HSE home support service have voted in favour of strike action.

It’s in relation to a dispute between health care assistants (HCAs) and their employers around national agreements on terms and conditions.

A SIPTU ballot counted at Liberty Hall Dublin on Monday evening delivered a 95% mandate for industrial action – up to and including strike action.

The trade union says its HSE home support strike committee will meet shortly to set dates for industrial action.

A spokesperson states the unresolved issues include underpayments dating back to 2018, and the non-implementation of rostering agreements.
