Many of the #CommunityEmployment Supervisors who attended the @SIPTUCommunity Sectoral AGM in Portlaoise today. Discussing the current issues shared by all in the community and voluntary sector. Pay, terms and conditions, contract security, recruitment etc #oursiptu
After months of engagement between my Dept & I with CE supervisors & reps, I strongly welcome the Cabinet decision today that @welfare_ie will allocate funding to support any pay settlement that may be agreed at the WRC for these important community workers.
Rather than increase the rate pay to bring it above minimum @fiannafailparty & @FineGael abolish an increment on CE assistant supervisor pay scale! Shocking & unfair of the "not the employer crowd" @cesupervisors@RTE_PrimeTime

No pay increase for 14 years.
Point 1 of the assistant Supervisors wage below the new minimum wage Impossible to recruit. Told from Jan they can start on Point 2- sssshh 'they're not our employers' yet dictate everything
@mmcgrathtd @HHumphreysFG @joefingalgreen
I know some of these supervisors & I know the work they do. I am one myself. Living through the worst inflation in 40 years and no pay rise in 14. Come on @mmcgrathtd@MichealMartinTD do the right thing & support the schemes @fiannafailparty helped set up years ago @CESupervisor
Delighted to meet with Community Employment Supervisors in #Bailieborough in #Cavan yesterday with Cllr Paddy McDonald. These workers play a critical role in our communities but have been denied a pay rise for 14 years. We need recognition of work involved in CE Supervisor roles.
@aosnodaigh as a CE supervisor on a drug rehab scheme I want to thank you for pressing @joefingalgreen on the issue of supervisor pay. 14 years is too long to wait for a pay rise @cesupervisors @HHumphreysFG @mmcgrathtd
@HHumphreysFG Are these community projects being run by community employment supervisors whom the government has refused to give a payrise to in 14 years? Bet many of them are but youre not telling the @irishexaminer that are ya?? #cesupervisors
Thanks again for raising Claire. Knowing the Supervisor you alluded to, the frustration they experienced is unfortunately a story that we are hearing more and more frequently.
Immediate action is required. Schemes are on their knees.
#nopayincreasein14years@joefingalgreen
Thank you @labour@ivanabacik for bringing your motion today @DonnellyStephen made a commitment to set up a process to grant fair play to the community sector. Please see to it that he keeps his promises
We debate our @labour motion on pay for community workers. Thank you to @thejournal_ie for publishing this piece in advance. Opinion: Care and community workers fill the gaps left by the State - they need a pay rise (via @thejournal_ie) https://t.co/d0eAfVceVF
Happy to support the long overdue (14years) pay rise for all those workers employed in community and section 39 organisations (and many others).
@SIPTU @forsa_union_ie @ILDN @tusla
Lots of talk & a commitment from government to engage in a process to ensure pay and conditions of CE supers is improved. We will hold government accountable for this @DonnellyStephen @AnneRabbitte#cesupervisors
@HHumphreysFG stop telling CE supers your not the employer. You don't employ the participants on these schemes & yet you give them multiple pay rises while CE supers get nothing! Give us our 1st payrise in 14 years #cesupervisors
Government must act to give CE Supervisors a pay increase after 14 years of being refused - Senator @paul_gavan
“It is a political choice, consistently made by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, to deny these vital workers a pay rise.”

Ce supervisors got a grand total of €3.50 from the budget and assistant supers are now on less than minimum wage. Wage grant has not been increased in 14 years @PatKennyNT
As long as FF & FG are in Government, CE Supervisors will never get recognition for the work they do. They know we take our jobs very personally and we will not let our Community Groups down. For that commitment we are being punished!!
@MichealMartinTD Today budget 2023 gave CE supersivors an extra €3:50 hmmm I wonder what I'll spend that on.. maybe an extra 2 litres of petrol! Thank you for helping me during this crisis @fiannafailparty@FineGael
