Rewarding sector for its work during pandemic

Unions and HSE officials met at the Workplace Relations Commission yesterday, regarding the recognition of frontline healthcare staff for their work during the pandemic.

INMO, Forsa, & SIPTU are looking for some reward for their members' efforts, such as vouchers, cash or additional leave.

The INMO's Joe Hoolan joined Clem Ryan on 'Kildare Today' this morning & discussed about why he sector deserves to be rewarded:

RESPECT = RECOGNITION

COVID-19 infection rates among health care workers has been sky high and many still suffer from long Covid.

It’s time for the government to value their contribution.@forsa_union_ie | @INMO_IRL | @irishcongress pic.twitter.com/7xsywchYnU
