The Government has been called on to intervene and avoid strike action by a number of health and community workers.
Just last week, workers in Section 39, Section 56 and Section 10 organisations issued a strike notice following a ballot of its members represented by Fórsa, INMO and Siptu.
Donegal Sinn Féin TD Pádraig Mac Lochlainn says many workers feel like they are being treated as second class citizens.
Deputy Mac Lochlainn says it is time for the ministers to sit up, take notice and assist the workers in reaching an agreement.
