Industrial action begins at Árd Gréine Court in Stranorlar at 9am tomorrow, with unions implementing a work-to-rule. The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) and the Psychiatric Nurses Association are taking the action after members are balloted for industrial measures. According to both reports, the industrial action follows an employer decision to withdraw a proposal that would have provided 24/7 management on-site.
The unions’ action is limited to a work-to-rule rather than an immediate full withdrawal of labour, and it is scheduled to start at the stated time tomorrow morning. The sources describe the action as being linked to the employment and management arrangements at the facility, and they present the withdrawal of the 24/7 management proposal as the trigger for the ballot and subsequent industrial action. Both outlets report the same start time, the same participating unions, and the same stated reason for the industrial action.
