Gardaí to engage in work-to-rule next month
It is understood that rank-and-file gardaí will engage in four days of work-to-rule action next month, coinciding with an EU Presidency meeting of leaders from the bloc in Dublin on 13 November.
Gardaí, the Irish police force, are set to participate in a work-to-rule campaign next month, planned to coincide with an EU Presidency meeting in Dublin on November 13th. This decision follows a meeting of the Garda Representative Association (GRA) executive committee, which is considering further action, potentially including the withdrawal of certain services.
The GRA released the results of a survey of its members, indicating that over 90% of respondents are willing to take action due to dissatisfaction with working conditions. Of the 4,000 plus members who responded to questions about their preparedness for work-to-rule, 4,182 gardaí stated they would engage in industrial action during the EU Presidency.
This represents 93.6% of those who responded. The GRA has criticized Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly and police management for allegedly breaching the Working Time Agreement and the European Working Time Directive.
