Strike Update

Re. Monday 12th December, NIPSA Branch 730 members strike will be for 8 hours between 9am to 5pm only. Within this we will have a number of picket lines at various sites – all of our picket lines will operate from 9am-12pm. Our sister union Unison, have taken a staggered approach to picket lines and strike action, but NIPSA’s is for strike action 9am-5pm.

We would ask members – Please support your trade union and Branch Reps by presenting at a picket line even if it is for a short period of time. We would really appreciate your support as in a number of these areas NIPSA will be only union having a picket in the morning.
