SIPTU members in CIE reject calls for pay cuts

Date Released: 14 Dec 2009

SIPTU members in CIE have rejected calls by the Minister for Finance, Brian Lenihan, for pay cuts in the commercial semi-state transport body.

“We totally reject the suggestion by Brian Lenihan that our members in CIE should be forced to take pay cuts,” said SIPTU organiser, Willie Noone.

“We have already agreed a cost cutting plan with Dublin Bus in which we have taken considerable pain while we have reached agreement with the management of Irish Rail on many different occasions at every level. That is the way we will continue to negotiate on behalf of our members,” he said.

“I want to make it clear to the Minister and his colleague, Noel Dempsey, the Minister for Transport that our members will not accept pay cuts at CIE and will absolutely resist any attempt to enforce them,” Willie Noone said.
