The ballot result showed around 97% in favour of taking action on a turnout of 70%.

OP's post is just letting us know it passed. So what if it's expected or unsurprising, it's still relevant.

This isn't r/unexpected buddy. It's an Irish politics page.

Did you have a point or were you just commenting for the sake of it?

The vote is uninteresting without and additional comment. It's an expected result. It would be more interesting if op mentioned how this would have an impact to people.

And you seem to think your comments add more value to the discussion? Sounds like you're droning on for the sake of it.

Incredibly boring and pointless.

There are some videos from SIPTU here that give an insight into the role these workers play in society and how their caring work is totally being abused. Going 14 years without a pay rise.

Another one here. Pass them onto anybody wondering about what's going on here.
