MEP slams 'greedy' IBEC

Socialist MEP for Dublin, Paul Murphy, has slammed employer’s body IBEC’s call for axing local wage agreements such as the Joint Labour Committees as "a greedy attempt to shore up profits at the expense of workers’ wages."

Mr Murphy made the comment at a protest being organised by the “Living Wage Campaign” at ISMEs AGM and Annual Lunch on Friday in the Burlington Hotel, Dublin.
