AIB staff reject pay freeze plan
The Irish Bank Officials Association (IBOA) is now heading for the Labour Relations Commission (LRC) for the first time officially in this current crisis. It said that, since the issues affect members in Ireland, Northern Ireland and Britain, it has made contact with the state institutions in the three jurisdictions — the LRC, Britain’s ACAS and the North’s Labour Relations Agency with a view to securing early dates for meetings.
IBOA general secretary Larry Broderick said the outcome of the ballotreflects the deep sense of “upset and anger” among staff at the bank’s “opportunistic proposals”.
