SIPTU has voted to reject the proposed extension to the Croke Park agreement by a margin of 53.7% against, 46.3% in favour.
General President Jack O'Connor said that the vote reflected the sense of grievance among working people and public service workers, in particular, that they are carrying an excessive burden in the post-crisis adjustment.
The result from SIPTU came within minutes of the vote from IMPACT whose members voted to accept the proposed extension to the Croke Park agreement by a margin of 56% to 44%.
The turnout was 65%.
The union will now cast all its votes in favour of the proposed agreement at the ICTU Public Services Committee meeting tomorrow.
Earlier, the Prison Officers' Association voted to accept the Croke Park II proposals by a margin of 64% in favour and 36% against.

The margin was 61% in favour and 39% against.
The turnout was 74%.
General Secretary Tom Geraghty said that after a vigorous debate union members had made a difficult choice and had voted for certainty over uncertainty.
However, he warned that this must be the last occasion on which public servants are targeted as they cannot continue to be expected to carry a disproportionate share of the country's burden.
The Unite trade union today voted to reject the proposals by 84% to 16%.
The union represents around 6,000 workers across the public service.
Unite Regional Secretary Jimmy Kelly said they must now follow through with the wishes of their members by standing against any attempt by Government to railroad imposed cuts through.
