Bord na Mona pay rises and union threats


You made particular reference to semi state bodies being the victims of preposterous findings by the Labour Court/LRC.

As such rulings are in the public domain & given the large number of people employed by such semi state bodies it surely must be possible to outline a number of such findings without the slightest possibility of having your identity discovered.
 
Anyone know if Bord na Mona would be making a profit were the PSO levy subsidising the obligation of the electrical companies to buy peat not in place?

It looks to me like they made 10m in 2010 and 15m in 2009 but in one article last year it was suggested the ESB get subsidies of 70m related to purchasing overpriced peat produced power which would mean that Bord na Mona's profit is not commercially based at all?
 
This dinosaur should have been privatised long ago. See how well these union demands are handled in the private sector.

Not withstanding that - there is another debate altogether about why the State should have commercial involvement in the pillaging of our boglands to create such a polluting form of fuel.

Bord na Mona makes a modest profit each year and pays dividend to the government. It has never got a subsidy or subvention from the government.

The dividend it pays would be larger if the employees were not given the pay rises. Who set up Bord na Mona, was there no money from Government involved in this?
