Advice and thanks to IMPACT members
by Lughan Deane
 
Following storm Ophelia, which saw a red weather warning in place for all counties, IMPACT is issuing this advice to members:

“IMPACT expects that all members will be paid for Monday 16th October 2017. We would oppose any attempt by employers to assign an annual leave day for the absence. In the event of any dispute, the union will fully support members – utilising third party dispute resolution mechanisms if necessary.”

IMPACT is immensely grateful to members in the coastguard, civil defence and other emergency services. Their courageous and effective response to an unprecedented situation undoubtedly saved lives.

IMPACT is grateful too to members in the OPW and in local authorities, who are now undertaking the daunting task of aiding in the recovery, and to IMPACT members in Met Éireann whose vigilance and careful direction the nation could not have gone without.

Finally, IMPACT offers its condolences to the families and friends of the three people who lost their lives as a result of the storm.
