Equality for Section 39 Workers
Equality for Section 39 Workers
The Issue
Petition to the Government of Ireland in Support of Section 39 Workers and Indefinite Strike Action starting from October 17th '23
Who is affected?
We, the concerned citizens of Ireland, express our solidarity with the dedicated workers in Section 39 community and voluntary sector organizations. These individuals provide essential services, including healthcare, social services, and support for vulnerable populations. They are the backbone of our community services, and their struggles directly affect the well-being of countless Irish citizens who rely on their care and support.
What is at stake?
The consequences of the current situation are significant. The underfunding and neglect of Section 39 workers have led to a situation where they face inadequate pay, heavy workloads, and uncertain job security. This jeopardizes not only their own livelihoods but also the quality and availability of critical services to our communities. If things remain unchanged, we risk a system where dedicated professionals are forced to leave, services are reduced, and vulnerable individuals are left without the support they desperately need. The very fabric of our society is at stake.
Why is now the time to act?
Now, more than ever, immediate action is paramount. Section 39 workers have shown unwavering dedication, even in the face of challenging conditions. However, they can no longer be expected to bear the burden of an underfunded system. By taking indefinite strike action starting from October 17th, they are making a powerful statement that the time for change has come. We, the people of Ireland, must stand with them. This is our moment to demand fair wages, manageable workloads, and proper recognition for these essential workers. By signing this petition, you join us in urging the Government of Ireland to address these issues without delay, ensuring the stability of our community and voluntary sector organizations and the well-being of our citizens.

The most vulnerable in our society are at the mercy of the Government of Ireland!
