School secretaries and caretakers in Clare have pledged to remain on strike until the Government meets their demands. Pickets have taken place at the office of the county's Government TDs this morning as those engaging in industrial action continue their pursuit of public service pensions and other entitlements for a fourth day. Having chosen the school gates as the location for their demonstrations since last Thursday, secretaries and caretakers in Clare opted for a different approach this morning. Equipped with placards displaying slogans such as "fair pensions for all school staff" and "pension parity", strikers have taken their grievances directly to the gates of power today by picketing the offices of Clare's Government TDs. After being granted access to Fine Gael Deputy Joe Cooney's office in the Market in Ennis, the secretaries and caretakers present made the Bodyke TD aware of their plight. Secretary at St Senan's National School in Kilrush, Bernie Dillon, says they've been made to feel like "paupers" and that they won't relent until a resolution is found. The key asks of secretaries and caretakers are inclusion in the public service pension scheme, access to sick leave and access to bereavement leave - entitlements enjoyed by other school workers like teachers and SNAs. They're also asking to be paid by the Department of Education rather than by their schools' board of management. Tim Daly, who's the caretaker of the Holy Family National School in Ennis, insists it's an indefinite strike. Deputy Cooney claims he spoke to the Minister for Education Helen McEntee about the issue this morning and that he will continue to engage with her until progress is made. He admits work could've got underway during the summer. Fórsa, which is the trade union that represent school secretaries and caretakers, says "there is no WRC process, no talks, and no effort on the Government side to resolve the situation" at present. It says its members won't come off strike until negotiations resume. Clarecastle Fianna Fáil Councillor Tom O'Callaghan believes the industrial action must continue if parity is to be achieved.

A Clare Fianna Fáil councillor claims the Government has taken its eye off the ball by failing to support vital school employees. Strikes are continuing this morning with an estimated 2,500 secretaries and caretakers demanding access to public service pensions and entitlements. The industrial action commenced last Thursday after talks at the Workplace Relations Commission on the issue failed to reach a resolution. Fianna Fáil Councillor Tom O'Callaghan has been showing his support for those on strike at Clarecastle National School, and he says the level of appreciation for secretaries and caretakers in the locality is clear to see.

Indefinite strike action by school secretaries and caretakers got underway today across the country. The Fórsa trade union says the move is necessary because workers are being denied access to public sector pensions and other entitlements. Brian O'Donovan, Work and Technology Correspondent, reports.

School secretaries in Clare claim they feel “dismissed” by the Department of Education as they join their colleagues nationwide in industrial action today. It's the first day of indefinite strike action by school secretaries and caretakers amid a long-running row over access to the public sector pension scheme. As children and their teachers across the country filed through the school gates this morning after the summer break, secretaries and caretakers remained outside with placards raised. The Fórsa trade union, which represents school secretaries and caretakers, confirmed yesterday evening that after talks at the Workplace Relations Commission failed to reach a resolution, indefinite industrial action would begin this morning. The dispute centres around the access that teachers and other Department of Education employees have to public sector pensions and other entitlements; access that isn't enjoyed by secretaries and caretakers. Parents dropping their children off at Scariff Central National School this morning could see the words ‘Pension parity now' written on signs being held aloft by those engaging in the strike action. School secretary Maureen Kelly says the Department's failure to address the issue over the summer months makes those affected feel “dismissed”. Over 2,600 secretaries and caretakers are striking today which is believed to affect more than 2,000 schools. A protest is also being held at the Department of Public Expenditure building in Dublin. The Department of Education says it has “made progress in improving the terms and conditions of school secretaries” in recent years. This, it says, has included “secretaries being placed on the payroll of the department and linked to any increases in pay under public sector agreements, improved annual leave entitlements, improved maternity provisions and paid sick leave in excess of the statutory requirement”. Fórsa claims the industrial action will continue until talks with the Department of Education begin. Secretary at Killaloe Boys National School, Carol Oakley, says she'd like to retire from her job knowing she has some security for the future.

After a failure to reach an agreement yesterday, strike action by school secretaries and caretakers gets underway today. For more on this, Ciara spoke to Andy Pike, Head of Education at Fórsa.

Some small primary schools could remain closed from Thursday this week as caretakers and secretaries are set to begin an indefinite strike for parity in public sector pensions and employment conditions. Andy Pike, Head of Education at Fórsa

Clare secretaries are preparing to begin an indefinite strike after it's claimed the Department of Education has 'shown no interest' in resolving a long running parity dispute. Fórsa is calling for secretaries and caretakers to receive the same entitlements as teachers and SNAs, including pensions and bereavement leave. Industrial action will begin as the school term resumes next week, while a protest is planned outside Dáil Eireann on August 28th. Vice-chairperson and Treasurer of Fórsa School Secretaries Branch on the Clare/Galway border, Rena McGrath, says there has been no meaningful consultation from the Department on the matter.

As we go through life, we all encounter various types of loss – whether it's a physical loss or the loss of a dream, relationship, or way of life. While it can be easy to become stuck in the grieving process, these situations may also present a powerful opportunity to inspire others and lead more impactfully.  For John Register – our guest in Episode 237 of The Mindset Game® podcast – the devastating experience of losing his leg from an accident while training for the Olympics propelled his journey to becoming an inspirational keynote speaker, consultant, C-suite advisor, and author of the book, “10 Power Stories to Impact Any Leader.” He is also a combat Army veteran and a two-time Olympic Trials qualifier in the hurdles. Since his amputation, John has won the Long Jump Silver Medal in Sydney, Australia, has advised three U.S. Secretaries of State, and founded the U.S. Olympic Committee's Paralympic Military Sports Program, which has helped tens of thousands of wounded veterans around the world use sports as a tool for rehabilitation. He believes that when our truth outweighs our fear, we will commit to a courageous life. In this week's episode, John shares the following:  Why it's important for leaders in particular to acknowledge, accept, and honor the losses they've experienced A three-part framework – reckoning, revision, and renewal – for transforming change and adversity into opportunities for growth  Tips for building your resilience capacity, such as taking appropriate breaks for rest, asking for help, and empathizing with others and what they value To explore more inspirational content from John or to join his Elevate Life community of international executives, visit https://johnregister.beehiiv.com.  To subscribe to The Mindset Game® podcast or leave a review, visit https://apple.co/3oAnR8I.

Traditionally, the Indian civil services have been a male bastion. Back in the 1950s, when the first woman IAS officer was appointed, a woman could be disqualified from service for getting married. Seven decades later, 1 out of 5 secretaries serving in the Government of India is a woman. From corporate to economic affairs, health to legal affairs--women officers are at the helm in several central ministries. At the level of recruitment, in the last few years, 27-30 percent of those who qualify for the civil services have been women.

Primary and secondary school students are looking at plenty of disruption, with over 2,000 secretaries and caretakers preparing for an indefinite strike once the summer break is over. Fórsa, which represents more than 2,300 school secretaries working in primary and secondary schools, as well as 500 school caretakers, told the Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth the mandate for indefinite strike action comes after the union's efforts to secure access for school secretaries to the Single Public Service Pension Scheme. Fórsa's Head of Education Andy Pike said school secretaries and caretakers remain excluded from the scheme, despite being on the Department of Education's centralized payroll since 2023. There are concerns that the strike, which is due to get underway on the 28th of August, could affect schools' opening hours. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Bernie Dillon, Secretary at St Senan's Primary School in Kilrush and Rena McGrath, Vice-chairperson and Treasurer of Fórsa School Secretaries Branch on the Clare/Galway border.
