Fórsa confirmed that strike action will be withdrawn to allow the implementation of the agreement. The key element of the agreement is a Government commitment to negotiate comparable pension entitlements for school secretaries and caretakers. Fórsa’s head of education, Andy Pike, said: “Tonight’s agreement at the WRC is a major step forward for school secretaries and caretakers. The commitment to negotiate comparable pension entitlements is a significant advance, and one that our members have fought hard to achieve. “This agreement reflects the determination of school secretaries and caretakers, who have stood together over the past week in pursuit of fairness and equal treatment.
