Well for some…

Well for some…

Public sector unions and government officials are meeting this morning to discuss a deal that could see workers getting a €2,000 pay increase from what they’re on now by 2017, if plans to reverse cuts go ahead.

Public sector workers are set to get a €1,000 pay rise next year that could be duplicated in 2017, depending on how the meeting goes this morning at the Labour Relations Commission, according to the Irish Examiner.

We’re sure those in the public sector are delighted at the prospect…

The talks went late into the night last night, with reports saying that a deal was on the table and ready to be signed, however, the issue was still not resolved by 2am.

It’s believed that in return for the pay rise, public sector workers will have to agree to certain reforms and changes in work practices.
