SIPTU's national executive is meeting at Liberty Hall to consider whether to recommend acceptance or rejection of the Croke Park extension deal.
If SIPTU, which has 63,000 members in the public service, recommends a Yes vote, it will be a significant boost to the overall chance of the deal getting union endorsement.
The proposals call for a further €1 billion reduction in the State payroll bill over the next three years.
The 24/7 Frontline Alliance will continue its campaign of lobbying against the agreement.
The proposals include pay cuts for staff on over €65,000 a year, increment freezes, longer working hours and reductions in overtime and premium rates.
Those advocating acceptance, including IMPACT and the Public Service Executive Union, say it is the best deal that could be secured.
They say the alternative would be pay cuts imposed by the Government.
Opponents, including unions representing doctors, nurses, some teachers, higher civil servants and gardaí, say the cuts are too extreme.
The Prison Officers' Association, which belongs to the 24/7 Frontline Alliance, will also decide today whether to recommend acceptance.
It is one of a number of participating unions that received concessions, such as being allowed to retain existing premium payments.
Elsewhere, the man who led the Government side in negotiating the new Croke Park agreement has told a conference in Dublin the deal "does what it says on the tin".
Paul Reid said it will achieve €1bn in pay and pension savings, workplace reforms and protect core basic salary for the majority of public servants.
Mr Reid said he respects that process, but he said he disagreed with some of the comments on the impacts of the agreement on nurses, gardaí and teachers.
He said examples quoted are not typical for each category.
Mr Reid also said it was not the case that side deals were done with some unions, adding that all outcomes were the results of union agendas tabled during the talks.
