Alan McQuaid , economist with Bloxhams suggests that we will see inflation again in 2010 , if his suggestion proves to be correct should we raise wages in line with the CPI if we deflate them now ?

Like most similar organisations, you get out of it what you put into it. If you don't like their style, then take a role, take some action, take control and change things.Complainer I was a member of SIPTU - I did go to Union meetings but God how boring - the same faces every meeting going on about the same issues every time. Got the impression it was a home from home for some people. The discussion would go off in different directions and have to be brought back by the Chair. Then the arguments would start and it would be "Mr. Chairman point of order.." I gave up, moved jobs and left SIPTU. Life's too short
Where in the report is that comparison?

While sample restrictions and balancing concerns rendered a more detailed sub-sector breakdown (e.g. Security Services broken down into Guards, Prison Officers and Defence Forces) impractical in some cases, it is important to note that major levels of variation
were also found within some sub-sectors.
But if they are allowed to cut it once what is to stop them coming back time and time again when they think lets save a few million here.
At the stroke of a pen the minister cut average of 7.5% off the PS wage but didn't bother to do it to the PS pensioners which would have saved a good bit more money.
So if deflation was not a factor you would be quite happy to see pay in the public sector remain unchanged ?I have nothing against payments in line with inflation. That's not what has been happening for a long long time in this Country.

Particularly as deflation may not be a constant factor.

Who, the one who lead the country for the last ten years? (Obviously I'm talking about Jack O'Connor)What credibility could a self proclaimed socialist earning €150k p.a. have?
I guess that explains why you would be unwilling to take any pay cut at all.
Sometimes employees need to accept a cut to increase their job security.
You'll get your wish this time if there is a pay cut
jasus, I've just read the links posted by Complainer on page 2. I don't think even the bearded brethren are stupid enough to believe that rubbish!
You mean they read like the ERSI report
You raised the question of benchmarking pay against deflation , presumably across all sectors ?Eh?
So you are saying people should only ever get payrises?

I simply asked if deflation was not a factor do you think that pay should remain unchanged ?
