Poll: Would you support a garda 'blue flu'?

More Gardaí have voted in favour of industrial action as they face pay reforms.

A NUMBER OF branches of the Garda Representative Association (GRA) voted in favour of industrial action and motions of no confidence in the Minister for Justice and the Garda Commissioner last night.

Industrial action could take the form of a work-to-rule or a so-called ‘blue flu’ which involves gardaí calling in sick en-masse.

Support for such a move has already been shown by rank-and-file gardaí in areas of Dublin, Cork, Kerry and Tipperary as the government seeks to negotiate a successor to the Croke Park Agreement on public sector pay and reform.

Would you support a garda ‘blue flu’?
