Ethel Buckley, Deputy General Secretary, SIPTU said:
“The forthcoming referendum on the inclusion of care in our constitution is a critical moment for SIPTU and Irish society. This referendum will provide a unique opportunity to recognise the value and importance of care and the care workforce. In making its final decisions on the wording, the government must include care in all its forms, both in the home and outside the home, so that all those who provide care are valued, anything less will not be acceptable to SIPTU.
SIPTU looks forward to working with our members throughout Ireland and with civil society organisations in a referendum campaign that will build a national consensus on the importance of care work to all our lives and will recognise the essential services that the care workforce provides.”
