Union members at the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland Vote to Accept Pay Proposals
SIPTU’s Health Division have today, Friday, October 11th, confirmed that union members working in the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland (RCSI) have accepted new pay proposals by an overwhelming majority.
The agreement, which will run until October 2026, provides for an annual 3% increase to basic pay, with a minimum payment of €1,500 in 2024. The proposals also state that all staff with over six months service with the RCSI will receive a €1,000, tax-free voucher in 2024; and includes increases to annual leave and bereavement leave entitlements. The employer has confirmed that that the payments for 2024 will be processed in October.
SIPTU Organiser, Peter Ray, said: “This pay deal, and improvements in terms and conditions, clearly demonstrates the importance of being in a union. It is a testament to what can be achieved when a workforce stands together in solidarity. Thanks are owed to all shop stewards in the RCSI university for their support and commitment on behalf of union members in their workplace.”
