Trade unionist urge workers to reject pay deal

PRESS RELEASE; for immediate release no embergo.

Trade unionists call for workers to reject pay deal

A Press conference this Wednesday by a panel of leading trade unionists will outline the reasons behind their opposition to the proposed national pay deal.

The conference will be hosted by Jimmy Kelly, regional secretary of Unite, whose union has recommended a NO vote to its members.

Also speaking will be Denis Keane, a former president and current executive member of the CPSU which represents thousands of low paid civil servants. Dennis will be speaking in a personal capacity on why his union is also calling on its members to reject the deal.

Christy Glynn from ASTI will also speak in a personal capacity on his and many of his unions members concerns about this deal.

Other speakers will include a number of SIPTU shop stewards from the transport and fire services, who will be speaking in a personal capacity on their opposition to the deal. John Kidd (Fire fighter)and John McCamley(bus driver) represent workers at the front line of public services.

These trade unionists have come together to outline their concerns on the proposed pay deal and to urge all workers to reject the deal; a deal which many claim is effectively a pay cut.

There is growing concern among trade unionists that accepting this deal means agreeing that workers should shoulder the costs of the recession and economic crisis.

Jimmy Kelly has stated that this deal has failed to address any of the concerns of unions on pay, pensions or workers rights.

The conference will take place in the Unite hall in Abbey street at 11 am on Wednesday 15th Oct.
