政治 · Public-sector payIreland strike shuts nearly all schools as unions see a path to pay talks文字 2026年10月14日 下午2:58 [UTC]觀看逐字稿0:07Ireland's public sector strike has closed virtually every primary and secondary0:11school.0:12Hospitals have cancelled all non-urgent procedures, and families are having to0:15arrange child care.0:17Unions have announced another strike day for next week.0:19Whether a new opening for pay talks can prevent that second shutdown is still0:23unresolved.0:24More than 300,000 workers are reportedly taking action, including nurses, doctors,0:29teachers, and civil servants.0:31The stoppage began on Wednesday, October 14th, and was scheduled for 24 hours.0:35That participation figure is still a reported estimate.0:38Workers formed a picket at Nanak Hospital in County Tipperary.0:42Across the country, the walkout went ahead despite the government's final appeal the0:46previous afternoon to postpone it and enter negotiations.0:49The dispute is about replacing a public sector pay agreement that expired at the end0:53of June.0:54Unions want pay terms settled before other issues are addressed.0:57The disagreement reaches into the order of negotiations, even as both sides express1:02willingness to talk.1:03Minister James Lawless said on October 11th, that the strike could still be avoided1:07and urged negotiations.1:09But FORSA leader Kevin Kalanen confirmed on October 13th that members would proceed1:13because their concerns remained.1:15FORSA and SIPTU are among the unions mobilizing.1:18Before the strike, more than 100,000 members were preparing to participate in1:22FORSA's action within the wider national mobilization.1:26The walkout has been described as the largest public sector strike in 20 years.1:30Virtually every primary and post-primary school is closed.1:34All non-urgent procedures have been canceled.1:36Emergency hospital cover has continued under exemptions agreed by unions, and GP1:40surgeries are open.1:42Those protections keep essential care available, while scheduled treatment is1:45interrupted.1:46Colleges and universities had also been expected to close widely.1:50School closures mean parents may need time away from paid work, and smaller1:54businesses can feel those absences particularly sharply.1:57Business group IBEC says it is giving employers practical guidance.2:01HSC Chief Clinical Officer Dr.2:04Colm Henry confirmed the cancellation of all non-urgent procedures.2:08The health services plans covered hospital and community care, including outpatient2:12appointments, day services, routine procedures, and primary care clinics.2:16The HSE began canceling elective care on October 9th.2:20Its emergency arrangements named emergency departments and ambulance services.2:24Earlier plans also protected cancer services, dialysis, and local injury units2:28alongside some critical community care.2:30Home support was being prioritized for people with the greatest needs.2:34Junior hospital doctors were to work Sunday equivalent rotas under the staffing2:38arrangements.2:38The protection for urgent care sits alongside broad cancellations elsewhere, so2:42patients using routine hospital or community services face disruption, even while2:47emergency hospital cover continues.2:49Early forecasts ranged from as many as 20,000 people affected to tens of thousands2:54of non-urgent hospital appointments.2:56A broader estimate put medical appointments potentially canceled at up to 150,000.3:01These are forecasts using different measures and they can't be added together.3:05Nobody has given a final numerical cancellation total.3:08The reported figure of 1 million on public hospital waiting lists also leaves a3:12basic ambiguity, whether it counts distinct people or entries across different3:15lists.3:16Virtually all court sittings were expected to stop, with a small number of3:20exceptions.3:21Dahl and Shaned's sittings and committee hearings were also expected to stop.3:25Driving tests were to be cancelled, and Dublin City Council announced no bin3:28collections or street cleaning.3:30Phoenix Park was expected to stay open while its facilities closed.3:34Disruption was also anticipated at Office of Public Works heritage sites and3:38cultural institutions including the National Library of Ireland and National Concert3:43Hall.3:43Those were the announced arrangements across these services.3:46They don't amount to a complete account of which facilities actually operated during3:49the strike.3:50The Communications Workers Union and National Bus and Rail Union told members not to3:54cross picket lines.3:56The bus union warned that some Dublin drivers could encounter pickets near hospitals4:00or colleges.4:01That creates a risk of wider disruption to buses and postal work.4:04The bus union represents drivers at Dublin Bus and Bus Erin.4:08Its instruction doesn't tell passengers which routes were affected, and no specific4:13bus or postal disruption has been confirmed.4:15The government says it is fully committed to pay talks with the Irish Congress of4:19Trade Unions, Public Services Committee, and other representative associations.4:23The negotiating opening now depends on whether both sides can agree how to put pay4:28first.4:28Public Expenditure Minister Jack Chambers said pay could be discussed as a priority.4:33Kalanin now sees a possible pathway to talks if the government puts pay at the4:37center.4:38He has also called for intervention from the Taishuk.4:41Taishak Mikal Martin welcomed union leaders' tone and disposition and said the4:45foundations are there for an agreement.4:47Both sides are signaling an opening, but they haven't agreed a replacement pay deal.4:51The next announced strike day is October 21st.4:54That second day could still be avoided through negotiations.4:57Whether it proceeds depends on the parties agreeing on pay and the framework for5:01talks before then.閱讀文章事件時間軸HeyDex短片 ↗誰報導了什麼多家媒體報導的要點✓Brand’s not-guilty pleas已獨立證實 · 6 家媒體Number of women making allegations5 家媒體Time period covered by allegations5 家媒體The jury consists of eight men and four
