A protest will be held outside the Taoiseach's constituency office next week over the privatisation of Local Employment Services.
SIPTU's announced it's stepping up its campaign to stop their privatisation across the country.
Cliona O'Dwyer reports for RedFM News:
"SIPTU says its members working in Local Employment Services and Job Clubs will next week escalate their campaign to stop the privatisation of these essential community services.
It follows a meeting of over 250 members on Thursday night to discuss a way forward.
This will include a protest outside the constituency office of the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin.
The union says those employed in them, as well as the people who use these services, will ultimately pay the price for the privatisation model proposed by the Government.
It wants the Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys, to put forward concrete proposals over the job losses and redundancies that will result from Phase 1 of this privatisation process."
