Fórsa

Fórsa is a new public service union with over 80,000 members. The union was formed after the members of IMPACT, the Civil, Public and Services Union (CPSU), and the Public Service Executive Union (PSEU) voted overwhelmingly to amalgamate the three organisations in November 2017. Fórsa represents members in the public service, as well as the commercial sector, state agencies, some private companies and in the community and voluntary sector. Fórsa will be the second largest union on the island of Ireland and by far the largest trade union voice in the Irish civil and public service. Fórsa is the Gaelic word meaning a 'force' or body of people, as well as meaning 'leverage'.
