Dear Parent/Guardian,
I am writing to inform you that secretaries and caretakers who are members of the Forsa trade union have planned industrial action. This will begin on Thursday, 28 August, and pickets will be placed at schools.
Please be assured that schools will remain open as normal for all students, and teaching and learning will continue without disruption.
The Department of Education and Youth has referred the matter to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) to assist in resolving the dispute and will continue to engage with all parties involved.
We will keep you updated and provide further information as it becomes available.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
