Union rejects public service agreement

Ireland

Members of the CPSU civil service have voted 67% to 33% to reject the “Croke Park” agreement. There was a high 74% turnout for the vote. The agreement was drawn up to try to resolve the conflict between government and unions over pay and job cuts in the public services. The deal involves maintaining the 5%-7% pay cuts this year with proposals for making efficiency savings that would allow for pay increases over the next three years. It also includes a range of other measures related to redeployment and outsourcing.
