Workers rightly raging at a deal for pay rises below inflation; but the blanket acceptance of AI in the public sector is potentially many times worse given its use to exploit & monitor workers,& mess up vital public services; Have ICTU been in a coma for last 5 years?
@Arseboxer@paulmurphy_TD@irishcongress I never mentioned Croke Park hours. I think you're mistaking me for someone who gives a shit about your opinion. If your in PS employment vote to accept it or refuse it, if you're not then your opinion makes no difference to the deal on the table.
@Arseboxer@paulmurphy_TD@irishcongress Have you read the agreement or are you just looking at numbers? I have a role that requires a degree masters and two post grads.

Any low and middle income earner in the public sector should reject this and send their highly paid officials packing.
Wont be long before the Public Sector union deal is gobbled up before it is awarded
Diesel prices at the pumps hit a 30-year high to send inflation rate shooting up

@GaryMar74666308@sligoshane@forsa_union_ie Have you read the agreement? AI everything... More apprentices but no increase for them.. outsourcing... it's not just about the money.
Allowing for the 2% owed from the last agreement today's offer is 7.75%, & a promise, over 3 yrs(2.25% a year) well below inflation making most people worse off. Insulting. #publicservice need new unions.@forsa_union_ie@INMO_IRL@TUIunion
Agrees to AI everything, to computerise everything, hours that suit the employer, reduce staff nos. Employer will consider requests for WFH & Flexi. Apprentices get nowt but we agree to have more of them, to cover existing jobs for 1/2 the money & accept outsourcing of work
