Public service unions in Ireland have announced plans for a second strike, scheduled to coincide with a major European event. The unions confirmed they will intensify current work-to-rule actions and consider further industrial action beyond November 12. The strike is part of ongoing negotiations over public sector working conditions and pay. The European event, which has not been specified, is expected to draw significant political attention. Unions have previously called for improved terms, citing rising costs and inflation. The timing of the strike aims to pressure policymakers during a critical period of European policy discussions. The move follows months of industrial action, with workers in education, healthcare, and transport sectors participating in work-to-rule campaigns. The unions have emphasized the need for urgent action to address financial pressures on public services. The European event is seen as a key moment to highlight demands. The strike could impact public services across the region. The unions have not yet confirmed the exact date, but it is expected to align with the summit. The situation remains under close watch by both union representatives and government officials.
