Association of Garda Sergeants & Inspectors Reject Proposals from Official Side
Industrial action to withdraw service by AGSI members still scheduled for Friday
The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors have this evening rejected proposals from the Official Side aimed at averting a third day of industrial action by middle-ranking Gardaí.
The AGSI National Executive, who are meeting today, rejected proposals given to their negotiating team late last night.
Speaking this evening President Antoinette Cunningham said. “We were presented with a proposal which was inequitable. We represent 2,080 Sergeants and Inspectors and we will not part-negotiate on their behalf.
“However, we remain open and available for talks and await more coherent and realistic proposals from the official side. But as of this evening our third day of industrial action is set for Friday 4th November and individual members of this Association are planning on withdrawing their service for a 24-hour period.”
