There’s good news for Community Employment (CE) workers and the many areas that benefits from such schemes in Sligo, Leitirm and Donegal.
The Fórsa trade union, which represents Community Employment (CE) workers, supervisors and assistant supervisors across the country, have concluded a ballot on new pay proposals, and a new mechanism for pay negotiations for CE workers.
The proposals were issued by the Workplace Relations Commission following discussions last month with the Department of Social Protection, which funds the schemes.
In a ballot of its 800 members, Fórsa reported an 82% vote in favour on a ballot turnout of 60%.
The deal provides for a 5% pay improvement in two phases in 2023, in addition to a new mechanism for engagement on future pay determination.
