Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Irish Trade Unions are going to have to face to the harsh realitaty of conditions in a recession. Its time to get real and help employers trade through to rough times. What good is a cost of living pay increase if it puts your company out of business? Irish Trade Union Officials are the best paid in the World. Because of falling membership due to unemployment and employees coping on that they actually do nothing for them, they relaise that soon they will be on the dole also. The employment Laws in Ireland are among the strongest in the world.
Does an employee need a union to get holiday pay? No Entitled by Law!
Does an employee need a union to get maternity leave? No Entitled by Law!
Does an employee need a union to get Redundancy? No Entitled by Law!
The list goes on.
With the new National Employment Rights Agency (NERA) coming on-stream one wonders what the role for Unions will have in the future. I suspect their only role will be to protect the non performing employees from being dismissed. This will mean employers will have to hire more workers to actually do their work, thus driving up the cost base. This will again make Irish Business too expensive and drive employment out of the country.
Get Real Unions. Your glory days are over. Time to live in the real world
I am an electrician and the TEEU have ruined our industry. They have driven many Electrical Contracting firms to bankruptcy by imposing unviable conditions on them. These conditions have been agreed by less than 10% of employers in the sector and have been wrongly signed into law by the Labour Court. This trend will contuinue in Irish Industry if the Unions dont stop their crazy and unrealistic demands.What is needed is some help to bring small business through the recession not cost increases.
See the Link below on this website for proof of what Modern Unions are about. Jobs for the boys and money.
Time to cop on lads. Everyone else has.
