ISME urges Government and unions to return to talks
09/03/2010 - 09:52:07The head of a group representing small and medium businesses says the Government and public sector unions must go back to talks to try and resolve the pay cuts dispute.
ISME's Mark Fielding says he believes a previous union proposal aimed at increasing productivity while getting their wages back over time could be a basis for a return to negotiations.
The Cabinet is set to discuss the dispute during their weekly meeting this morning as up to 300,000 public servants escalate their campaign against the €1bn Budget pay cuts
The action is expected to result in school closures and hospital services being affected.
