- Friend told me about a guy who was usually first in to the office in the morning so he'd turn on the lights and open the blinds as you would. My mate came in one morning to find the bloke sitting in the dark after his union rep told him its not his job to turn on the lights and open the blinds
no union can make someone sit in the dark like a right gobs...My mate came in one morning to find the bloke sitting in the dark after his union rep told him its not his job to turn on the lights and open the blinds
Sunday pay, now there’s an interesting one. I was talking to my neighbour who runs a small shop. She pointed out that if she get a school kid to work for a few hours on a Sunday afternoon doing unskilled work tidying up the shop after the day she has to pay them over €17 an hour. That’s just crazy.Many of us in the past were very glad of unions, we got sunday pay, proper holidays, and we didn't feel alone if there was trouble. However like any large organisations, they can become institutionalised and lose sight of their mandate. What's needed by all is flexability.
Union makes pay deal with M&S
Mandate has said it's reached an agreement with Marks and Spencers for a new pay deal above and beyond the terms of the National Wage Agreement.
The deal allows for wage increases of up to 6.7 per cent above current rates.
The trade union said the deal is what is expected from profitable companies even in difficult trading circumstances.
... or just pull out of the country.No, they'll probably raise them by 10% +....
... or just pull out of the country.

Id imagine you are right purple
That shows the great LEADERSHIP,negoiating a pay rise in this climate!!
I can just see the staff of M&S,doing a waterford on the company,when it closes! where is the reponsible leadership? maybe thats another thread..
Its a short term gain,but could end up detrimental to the staff at the end of the day..
Since when have unions looked at what is sustainable? They epitomise the short term greed of the Celtic tiger.
