IBEC, the group that represents Irish business, today called for the immediate halt of a January pay increase of 1.25% in the retail grocery sector, saying it was seeking an urgent meeting of the Retail Grocery Joint Labour Committee on the issue. IBEC said that the pay award should be put on hold in light of a recently announced review of the wage procedures that give rise to such increases.
