Do you support the electricians?

The guys who want a 11.2% increase in pay?

Their employers want to give them a 10% cut.

Would you support the sparkies?

 

[Hordes'a'Fopperies]

Nope... After that IMF report, which of course won't be read by anyone, but should be, anyone looking for a payrise in this country is a few tempura prawns short of a soiree... I love the logic here, we must be paid more so we can live in our exorbitantly overpriced country, heaven forbid that we'd wake up and realise that prices can also come down and start carrying on in such a fashion.

They are lucky to have jobs and this failed state right now need to get more competitive not less.

Pure madness

As Mr Martmite would say.....


This is great news for the recession!

 

[Lostmeringtopaddypower]

The union bosses say all workers must support SIPTU as the cuts requested by the employer side is an effort by the wealthy to sustain their wealth at the cost to the poor.

Strike money for a striker would be ca. €125 per week - I wonder how the lads with mortgages and young kids plan to survive this?

(David Begg is on about €200K per year - so I reckon he knows what living on the breadline must be like)

Do the electricians expect the whole country not to pass their picket lines - and also earn nothing?

Anecdotal evidence, the best kind, suggests the average wage for these guys is 100 grand a year.

No support from me.
