The non answering of phones is a form of industrial action which is short of strike action. The employer has been informed of the action according to the industrial relations act. The employer can decide to reduce pay for non performance of certain duties by say 10%.
Could the HSE decide not to reduce the pay as above and issue formal warnings instead? Just asking out of curiosity.
I tried today to get through to revenue - no luck - phone message on answering service said due to industrial action 1890 number is not being answered.
Spoke to receptionist in dept of health today ... she said wtr was in operation but would try to put me through to a prinicipal officer whose union was not wtr ... after several attempts she informed me that they must all be sympathizing and that I should try tomorrow ... it'll probably be over by then!
Just one question ... why didn't someone in the government write 'responding to telephone queries' into the job description of civil servants?
This work to rule - not answering phones / covering for other people - has nothing to do with enacting change. It's about making the union members FEEL as if they are doing something to enact change.

Not fast tracking anything at a Minister's request (eg a passport needed in a hurry).
See, the thing is, is this something that is really required? Arguably in any work environment it's good practice to occaisionally just stop doing certain tasks and see what happens.Not fast tracking anything at a Minister's request (eg a passport needed in a hurry).

If anyone was so inclined this would be a fantastic opportunity to rationalise the workload within their office. Stop doing busy work. Focus on the real world.
That's an absolute disgrace!He doesn't have to get your passport. He/She will sometimes request that one be processed extra quickly because a constituent needs one in a hurry.
