Labour Court recommends An Post workers’ pay rise

The Labour Court has recommended that An Post’s 9,500 workers receive a two-phase 3.5% pay rise that will cost the company €15m a year.

The court recommended a 2% pay increase come into force and be backdated to July with a further 1.5% increase to come into effect next year. However, in return for the pay increases workers will have to deliver €7.5m in annual savings.

This includes a reduction in 290 posts in An Post’s collection and delivery operation to be implemented by the end of November in accordance with a process already agreed between An Post and the unions.
