PUBLIC SERVICE PAY CUTS - STRIKE BACK CAMPAIGN
Phase One - Monday 25th January 2010 - Campaign of Resistance & Non Co-Operation
For The Attention Of All INMO Members
Dear Colleague
I attach, for the attention of all members in your workplace, a copy of an explanatory document which gives specific direction, to members, in relation to the Campaign of Resistance/Non Co-operation, which is being initiated, throughout the health service, starting on Monday, 25th January 2010.
This response is a direct consequence of demands from our membership, across the country, for a focused response and leadership on this critical issue and the success of this campaign requires absolute co-operation from all members.
I must now request that you would put this document into the widest possible circulation, in your workplace, and display it on all available noticeboards in your hospital/health centre.
This initial phase of the campaign is being commenced in tandem with similar actions by the members of other health service unions. In addition to this we will be arranging, again together with other health service unions, workplace meetings, over the next number of days, in order to ensure all members are familiar with this directive and have any questions or queries, pertaining to same, answered.
The INMO has formally served notice on the HSE, and other health service employers, of the commencement of this action, on Monday, 25th January 2010.
The pay cuts are now a reality and the workloads increasingly intolerable. Therefore this campaign must commence now and continue until we succeed in our campaign to reverse the pay cuts, protect pensions and ensure employment levels.
Any member wishing to access the full background to this issue can access further information here on www.inmo.ie
Finally it should be noted that many members, in recent weeks, have highlighted the very negative impact, on workloads and care standards, arising from the continuing recruitment freeze imposed by the HSE. This is why the lifting of this recruitment embargo is also an objective of this campaign.
Yours sincerely
