NI Water strike: Industrial action could have ‘devastating impact’

Unite has written to finance minister Caoimhe Archibald to seek the approval of the business case for a pay increase due in the 2023-24 fiscal year and to avoid the strike action.

“The minister must act immediately, deliver the 21-month overdue pay increase to our members and end an entirely avoidable and disruptive industrial dispute,” McWilliams added.

In a statement, NI Water said: “The outstanding pay award for 2023/24 for our staff is a key concern for NI Water.

“Our partnership agreement with Department for Infrastructure (DfI) requires DfI and Department of Finance (DoF) approval before any payment can be made. While DfI has approved the pay award, it is pending DoF approval.”

A spokesperson for the DoF said: “The further information necessary to progress the approval of the NI Water pay remit was only received on 02 December.

“Officials continue to work at pace to assess the pay remit, which will be approved once the department has had the opportunity to properly scrutinise and is satisfied with the information provided.

“A decision is expected this week.”
