Strike next week

Sephiroth_dude

Hi
Im due to sign on next tuesday and I just heard on the news that all public sectors workers are going on strike,can anyone tell me what will happen for those that are meant to sign on next tuesday?will it be wednesday instead?I tried ringing the cork office but there was no answer.

Anyone at all?any advice?

Hadn't heard of this strike, but that will effect me as well. They not been on a skive on any day that I've been in previously, but I have been stood in the queue on a day after a strike before. On those occasions they seemed to just skip needing people to sign on that time, but no telling what they will do next week and may be different from one office to another.

Maybe they'll have skeleton staff on or something.

Your signing on will more than likely be excused for that day. Contact your local office to make sure and to double check their arrangements and when you do have to sign again. They will probably have signs up from monday anyway advising people.

Bizarre I signed on last week and was told no need to sign on again until second week of January

ronano

most likely a backlog of other work they want to clear so excused your signing on date

not at all that is normal proceedure at christmas time even long before this period of mass unemployment. enjoy one of the few little perks of being on the dole.

Its only the public sector workers in flooded areas (i.e. Cork/Galway) that are not on strike but are helping out in clearing the mess caused by the flooding. All other offices around the country will still be on strike!

so the cork office will still be closed?
