[QUOTE="Stacky, post: 7081906, member: 22688"] Crack open your weekend flagon of cider. [I]22-06-22 Sources said unions were seeking additional wage increases worth in the region of 9pc over this year and next to offset rising living costs at the talks. The discussions on a review of the Building Momentum Agreement amid mounting inflation broke down around 3am yesterday. Senior union negotiators who emerged from the discussions at Lansdowne House said the Government would not move from its position. The Workplace Relations Commission was considering last night whether it was worthwhile for the parties to reconvene discussions. Formal talks began on Monday and it is understood the Government agreed to address an outstanding pay issue for nurse managers. At about 3pm on Thursday it brought a proposal to pay 2pc this year and 2pc next year in four instalments of 1pc – on top of existing increases. [B]Unions strongly rejected the plan, with some sources claiming they sought 10pc over two years.[/B] A revised Government offer of 2.5pc and 2.5pc over the two years was put forward. Officials from Expenditure Minister [URL='https://www.independent.ie/topics/michael-mcgrath-40672594/']Michael McGrath[/URL]’s department emphasised that every 1pc increase in the pay bill costs around €240m. [B]However, unions demanded 9pc – and neither side would give way.[/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
