I'd like to know the full cost of all these letters. What a waste of money, couldn't even use it in the toilet either, wrong type of paper grade....

Made from the exact same stuff the "Fianna Fail manifesto 2007" was made from.
"Trust us to manage the economy".
That's actually a good point... since the Unions were part of the coalition that ran the country for the last 10 years (they called themselves "Social Partners")
The people were obvioulsy happy enough sure didnt they vote back in the Govt on three different occassions.
This old chestnut annoys the hell out of me. First, why just the EU15? Is it because when you compare Ireland to countries of a similar size and population you get a less useful statistic? No it's better to compare us to higher tax economies with large public services. And again, must we not also include the statistic that we're among the highest spend on wages in the EU15. More of what we do spend goes on wages. Funny how that bit is never mentioned."Ireland's public spending is among the lowest in the EU 15 and is comparable with levels often found in the poorer accession states."
"If we are to rebuild and rebuild in a sustainable manner, the tax base will have to be reconstructed...Simply cutting spending will not solve the enormous problems we face. Over the last 12 months, the Government has introduced two budgets, both of which took money out of the economy. But the situation has not improved, it has worsened."
ERSI was discussed here before
It might not be a bad idea to get all the stuff about the ERSI and put it all onto that thread.
The thing is that overall this document is a call to protect the public sector and construction industry. Pretty much be damned with the rest of you.
As an aside Latrade, it looks like that tosh was written by me now!!!
He siad it was not in recent CSO reports so like " its not happened" !!
We can vote the Government out. How do we get trade unions back into the hole they crawled out of
A really ignorant statement. There is no point even trying to debate with those who hold such a shockingly ignorant view.
We are involved in a sector wherby outside staff are covered by an REA, the emplyees have told us that they would take a pay cut to save jobs, but we have explained to them that we cannot touch their rates as we could be proscecuted ! The Directors have taken 2 10 % pay cuts, rest of office and management have taken a 10% pay cut. Its absurd that a business trying to survive cannot accept pay cuts offered by loyal staff.

+1I am not looking for a debate. I admire and respect the history of Trade Unions but the present bunch of union leaders are overpaid, egotistical loonies who have had their noses in the trough of social partnership for the past ten years and have got fat and greedy on the back of it.
They will bring this country to its knees and so be it. I work in a non-unionised company and I fancy our chances our survival are a lot greater than ones that have to deal with those crackpots.
