The NIPSA union say the strike is over a 'derisory' pay offer made to civil servants.
Widespread disruption is expected in ports and food processing as vets working for the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs begin five days of strike action on Monday.
The action is in protest over a pay award of £552 to all civil servants in Northern Ireland for 2022/23, when inflation was above 10%. They continued, "If strike action proceeds as has been indicated, there will be significant disruption to the delivery of many of the Department’s veterinary and animal health functions, including delivery of official controls and other official activities across Sanitary and Phytosanitary inspection facilities, meat plants and field operations.
"They have been subjected to a sanctions budget which is intended to punish politicians. Unfortunately, it is workers and public services that are being harmed.
