Public sector strike in Donegal called off as pay deal reached
The Letterkenny public sector strike and rally was due to take place at 12 pm on Thursday, November 12.
The public sector strike and rally planned for Letterkenny has been called off.
Public services, local health facilities, and schools in Donegal will operate as usual.
Nationally, the 24-hour work stoppage involving over 300,000 public and civil service workers will not go ahead as planned.
The decision came as the Trade unions and the Government reached an agreement on a new draft public sector pay deal in the early hours of this morning.
The accepted deal will see a 10.75 per cent increase in pay, as well as additional provisions for public sector workers who are on lower pay. The pay deal will run until March 2029.
