SIPTU DEFENDS LOWEST PAID - ATTACKS PAY CUTS AGENDA

Date Released: 08 Feb 2010

SIPTU Divisional Organiser, Patricia King, will launch a campaign against the Government’s plans to reduce the incomes of the lowest paid workers in the State at a press conference at 12.00 noon in Liberty Hall on Wednesday (10th February).
 
Along with Union representatives and workers in low wage sectors, Patricia King will also formally launch a new SIPTU publication, “Government Targets the Lowest Paid” which highlights the attempts by Government and employers to enforce pay cuts across the economy.
 
The document outlines how the Government proposes to reduce the incomes of workers whose pay rates are set by Employment Rights Orders (ERO’s) and Registered Employment Agreements (REA’s) through the Industrial Relations Amendments Bill (2009) and also threatens to reduce the National Minimum Wage of €8.65c an hour.
 
The press conference will take place at 12.00 p.m. in the Connolly Hall, Liberty Hall, on Wednesday (8th February).
