Fresh talks between Govt and public-sector unions

12.03.2010
Talks between the public-sector unions and Government representatives are set to begin later today, fuelling hopes of a breakthrough in the deadlock over public-service pay cuts.

The fresh talks come following a meeting between the Taoiseach Brian Cowen TD, Finance Minister Brian Lenihan TD and Environment Minister John Gormley TD and officials from the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), which was called at the invitation of the Taoiseach.

In a statement, the Government said the purpose of the meeting, was to “explore the potential and appropriate conditions for a renewed engagement between public-service unions and management on the development of a comprehensive agenda for the transformation of public services and on a framework for public-service pay determination”.

The new talks will be facilitated by Kieran Mulvey and Kevin Foley of the Labour Relations Commission.

The talks come just as the public-sector unions are preparing to ramp up their campaign against public-service pay cuts.

Angry public-servants have been working to rule for almost two months. The industrial action was set to escalate in the coming weeks with the threat of strike by teachers, hospital staff, civil service employees and others.

ICTU’s general secretary David Begg said the fresh talks could prevent an escalation of the current industrial action planned by unions.
