Several trade unions have announced island-wide trade union action in protest against the Government's 2027 Budget proposals.

The Association of Public Service Engineers and the All Island Disaster Relief Services Officials' Union are scheduled to launch strikes tomorrow (16), while irrigation technical assistants have begun reporting sick leave from today (15) until 17 November.

The State Veterinary Surgeons' Association will also launch a sick leave campaign on 17 November.

The unions are demanding solutions to concerns over allowances, salary-related benefits and other provisions in the Budget.
