SouthDoc could be hit by strike action
SIPTU has announced that they're preparing to ballot members of some Section 39 organisations for strike action
Section 39 workers are treated as private sector workers but their employers are grant aided by the HSE to provide services mainly in the health and social services sector
The Echo reports that the action comes on foot of a refusal by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to honour a recent pay restoration agreement
The action will affect about 6,000 SIPTU members
