Staff at a Longford disability centre have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a new pay deal after weeks of industrial action.
St Christopher's staff has been holding a work-to-rule over a dispute centring on the non-payment of increments promised under a previous pay agreement.
Trade union Fórsa and St Christopher's management had agreed on a set of proposals designed to harmonise pay scales and address staff concerns.
They include rulings that, from January 1st, all staff on the current 2021 pay scale will move to the 2022 scale, with all staff moving to the 2023 scale in July.
Those proposals were put before the staff for a vote on Monday evening last.
Over 90 per cent of the staff have now votes in favour of the deal with the dispute now set to come to an end.
St Christopher's new CEO Declan Kenny welcomes the news.
