An update before the weekend for school secretaries and caretakers.
Please rest, stay strong, and well done after a truly historic week of strikes! #PensionParity
6 days of strikes and yet secretaries & caretakers are still fighting for their rights with incredible energy
A special shout out to people on picket lines by themselves or in isolated areas, and in the rain. You're showing the government what a force you all are! #PensionParity
Useful to remind the director that @forsatradeunion.bsky.social has been and is still available and that it is the government that is not making any move.
#PensionParity
4 days of strikes for pension parity =
1 major national rally
5 huge regional rallies
2,000 school picket lines
Every local government TD office picketed
And this will go one for weeks, even months, if needed. #PensionParity
If it was multinational corporations in distress you could be sure Erin would resolve the issue immediately whilst ignoring workers in this case. The strongest tool workers have is withdrawing their labour, strike till victory, up the workers. #pensionparity
Schools expecting to feel the crunch as secretaries and caretakers warn strike could go on for weeks
"One principal ... said things could completely grind to a halt if it is not resolved soon."

PENSION PARITY NOW
What a crowd making its way to the Dept of Public Expenditure 🪧🪧
Unbelievable. Well done to all the school secretaries and caretakers taking over the streets of Dublin today.
#PensionParity
Absolutely massive crowd of school secretaries and caretakers.
All they want is to be treated equally - to get pensions, sick pay and bereavement leave.
Support the workers. Contact your TDs to demand the government concedes and drop by pickets to support.

At the bottom, a red banner states: 'PENSION PARITY NOW for School Secretaries and Caretakers.' The Fórsa logo is in the top right corner. A circular badge shows a stick figure holding balanced scales with the words 'Pension Parity in Schools' around the edge.
