National Advocacy Service workers back on picket line in Kilkenny and other locations

National Advocacy Service workers are back on the picket line again this morning, including in Kilkenny city.

The members of SIPTU who help provide vital supports for people with disabilities are highlighting their dispute over pay.

They had originally taken to the streets in June but postponed the action for a fortnight while talks took place between union representatives, N.A.S. management, the Citizens Information Board and Department of Social Protection officials.

However, the public display resumed last week with members out again today at a number of locations.

We heard from all sides last week – more here.
