Poll: Would you support a garda strike?

What do you think?

THE GARDA UNION is asking its members to vote for or against industrial action as part of their current pay dispute with the Department of Justice.

Having rejected the Lansdowne Road agreement, gardaí are currently receiving no pay increments – salaries currently start at €23,171. This pay freeze affects anyone with less than 17 years’ service in the force, or 62% of rank-and-file gardaí.

So we’re asking, If the gardaí decide to strike, would you support them?
