Nursing unions will meet with HSE management this afternoon to discuss the ongoing dispute over staffing levels.
While unions at Irish Rail are to press for a pay rise when they begin talks this morning.
Significant talks between nursing unions and management have already taken place.
And it’s expected some form of pay agreement for nurses will be tabled at a meeting this afternoon.
The INMO’s Executive Council will then consider those proposals on Wednesday.
Separately unions at Irish Rail are meeting with management this morning.
They’re looking for a pay rise of more than 20 per cent – but the National Bus and Rail union would likely accept a deal in line with the 11 per cent Dublin Bus and Luas drivers got.
The NBRU is also likely to again ballot it’s members at Dublin Bus for strike unless a row over pensions is resolved.
It sets the scene for a testy time for the transport sector – with 2,600 staff at Bus Eireann also preparing for an all-out strike from February 20th.
