Public Service Executive Union endorses pay deal

The Public Service Executive Union (PSEU) conference has endorsed its leadership’s decision to recommend acceptance of the Croke Park agreement on public sector pay and reform.

Delegates at the annual conference in Galway voted on a show of hands to call on members to vote yes to the proposals in a ballot that will take place over the next six weeks.

PSEU general secretary Tom Geraghty had come out very strongly in support of the deal stating that the only alternative was “to engage in a prolonged... industrial relations war”.
