SIPTU Home Helps To March Tomorrow
SIPTU Home Helps and their supporters from across the midlands will march tomorrow in Tullamore to protest against cuts to Home Help services.
The workers will assemble at the SIPTU Unity Hall, Church Street, at 3.00 p.m. and march to the Health Service Executive (HSE) Central Offices, Arden Road.At the HSE Offices, workers will hand in a petition, containing over 10,000 signatures, calling on the agency to reverse its decision to implement massive cutbacks in Home Help hours.
SIPTU Organiser, Dimma van Dulmen, said: "Home Help workers throughout the midland counties of Laois, Longford, Westmeath and Offaly, their families and clients, who are able, will join the march and send a clear message to the HSE that these cuts must be reversed. We are also seeking support from the general public."
The march has received the backing of Tullamore Town Council which, earlier this month, unanimously voted in favour of a motion supporting the SIPTU ‘Time to Care’ Home Helps campaign. A number of county councillors have also expressed solidarity with the SIPTU Home Helps and have pledged to join the march.
