Following last week’s strike action, talks will take place at the Workplace Relations Commission this afternoon on access to pensions for school secretaries and caretakers. @rtenews https://t.co/BcCQsJuSEc
Education Minister Helen McEntee has said the government is ready to discuss public service pensions if Fórsa, the union representing school secretaries and caretakers, comes to the table

It was a pleasure and a privilege this morning to meet and talk with some of our incredible @forsa_union_ie school secretaries and caretakers in Newbridge.
The other school workers get it. Parents get it. The public gets it.
Listening to @HMcEntee on @RTENewsAtOne and her statement that everything including pension parity would be on the table in a talks process, it would be useful for some direct contact with @forsa_union_ie to see if there's a sufficient basis to suspend the strike pending talks.
In Kells today. Striking school secretaries and caretakers are resolute and determined. Ministers McEntee and Chambers cannot continue to stand idly by.

Members of the Forsa trade union are on strike for the fourth day over pay and public-sector employment benefits.
School caretakers and secretaries, represented by the Forsa trade union, are holding pickets outside the constituency offices of local TDs today
🪧🏫Showing my support for our school secretaries and caretakers this morning.
They should be entitled to a pension, sick leave, bereavement leave and the same rights as their teacher and SNA colleagues!

School secretaries and caretakers are the backbone of our schools.
These dedicated Fórsa members play such an important role in the running of schools all across the country.
SIPTU stands with you.

Out on the picket lines all day again with our incredible members rain, shine, or tired feet, the energy hasn’t dropped. Today’s rally in Ballymun was powerful. The solidarity, the voices, the unwavering determination.
