Workers are striking outside Enable Ireland’s office in Tralee today in a dispute over pay. The strike is part of the the Valuing Care, Valuing Community campaign, which is supported by SIPTU, Fórsa, the Irish Nurses’ and Midwives’ Organisation, and the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. Enable Ireland says the campaign is to achieve pay parity with HSE employees, as its workers do similar work to colleagues in the HSE and other voluntary agencies. Enable Ireland and other care organisations affected by the nationwide protest employ the staff who are protesting. However, it is the Government that provides the funding to the care organisations so they can pay the staff. Jerry speaks to Niall Shanahan of the Fórsa trade union.
