## Resource

The government is urging unions back to the table for pay talks as the expired agreement looms, with Minister Calleary confirming Minister Chambers is ready to negotiate—but not at any price. Unions like Siptu are preparing for possible strikes, citing insufficient groundwork, while the Irish Congress of Trade Unions signals imminent member consultations and potential ballots within weeks. All this unfolds as Ireland hosts EU social ministers in Ballina, tackling poverty and disability employment gaps—adding global context to Ireland’s domestic labor standoff.
