Employees in Higher Education Institutions have a number of industrial relation mechanisms available to them and queries on employment matters are addressed first and foremost at a local level, either where an employee may raise a query directly with their employer or by having a query raised on their behalf by their union representatives. In the event that a satisfactory outcome is not achieved at local level, there are structures available to facilitate national engagement between unions, management and the Department, where a matter is escalated beyond the local level. The issue raised by the Deputy is a local matter which has not been escalated to the national level, and as such, the detail of the claim would not be a matter for my Department.
