Dementia Care Staff Strike for Fair Pay | Belfast News

Workers at Dublin’s St. Joseph’s Centre are preparing for a major 72-hour strike starting July 27th, demanding fair pay and job recognition after months of stalled negotiations. Despite already striking three days earlier this month and voting overwhelmingly for industrial action in June, staff say they’re forced to strike because management refuses to regrade roles that now include feeding residents and covering for severe understaffing. With laundry departments shutting down and duties piling onto housekeeping, workers feel undervalued — yet families of residents stand behind them, acknowledging their vital, often unrecognized contributions. The union insists residents’ safety depends on properly trained, fairly compensated staff and urges management to return to the table before the situation worsens.
