Rank-and-file garda\u00ed say they are so dissatisfied with their working conditions that they are prepared to commence a work-to-rule for the remaining events of Ireland’s EU Presidency.<\/p>\n
The Garda Representative Association (GRA) has published the results of a survey of its members, which it says shows that over 90% of the garda\u00ed who responded are prepared to take action because of their dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n
Forty five percent of their members, over 4,000 garda\u00ed, responded to two questions about their preparedness to take part in a work-to-rule, and to do so during the EU presidency.<\/p>\n
4,182 garda\u00ed, or 94.2% of those who responded, said they were prepared to take industrial action, while 3,977, or 93.6%, said they would do so during the EU presidency.<\/p>\n
The GRA has accused the Garda Commissioner and Garda management of breaching the Working Time Agreement and the European Working Time Directive.<\/p>\n
GRA General Secretary Ronan Slevin said the survey shows that rank-and-file garda\u00ed “have had enough and voiced their willingness to resist these breaches and show the Commissioner and senior Garda management that they have had enough”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rank-and-file garda\u00ed say they are so dissatisfied with their working conditions that they are prepared to commence a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":667044,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-667043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=667043"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667043\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/667044"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=667043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=667043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=667043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
